Tiling bathroom newbie

[muttly]

Hi all

I want to tile the bathroom floor in my flat; this will be the first time that I have tried this. I want to tile under the toilet because this will look much smarter. The pluming for the toilet looks fixed and if I raise the toilet by x amount of mm’s the pluming will be out. This must t be a common problem when tiling bathroom floors?? Can anybody tell me how they get around this problem?

Thanks

Hi Muttley..welcome to the forum..

If your bathroom floor is wood as in floorboards you will need to ply the floor out using a min of 12mm ply (external grade)..this will raise your pan by about 18mm..you could always change the water supply line to flexi hose..making adjustments to the overflow shouldn't be to much of a problem...Mark.

shut water off at mains and fit isolator valve with flexible hose,if soil pipe needs moving up a bit a multiquick adaptor can be fitted...Gaz..........Give me back that meddle Muttley lol

Thanks for that it was the soil pipe that had me scratching my head! will google a "multiquick adaptor" does anybody know how much it would cost to get a pro on the case? the floor would need at least 16 330mm tiles which i have???

Thanks
