Question: fixing wc pan over ceramic tiles - TilersForums.com

[GMSlater]

Hi all

I'm looking for some advice on fixing a new wc pan over a ceramic tiled floor. The bathroom is upstairs, and the subfloor is chipboard overlaid with 19mm ply. I have the Fischer fixing kit, but this seems to be designed for fixing to a concrete floor?

The pan has a hole on either side for fixing to the "L" shaped plastic brackets, just not sure of best way to fix these down.

if there is a more suitable fixing kit I'm all ears :smilewinkgrin: thanks for the advice

Just drill a 6 mm hole in the tile, then a 3 or 4 mm hole in the ply and use the bolt and washer out of the kit to fix the L-bracket. Don't forget to double check you measurements and positioning of the bracket before drilling.

Thanks for your advice Stewart, makes good sense. And I will double, or even triple check my measurements!

Remember to check for pipes under the floor if you think the fixings will go deeper then the tile and substrate.

Stewart beat me to it!! It's a common fix that works perfectly! Had to do the same on a recent Bathroom Install.....

All good advice above, and dont forget to neatly silicone the pan to the tiles.
