Here's a pic of that job.
Can't decide if I like the tiles or not, never been one for the Moroccan vibe

Looks well tidy @macten. Just a question about the skirting, did you remove it to tile are did you run a bead of Silicon done the edge of the tiles the meet to it.

Andy - after careful consideration I decided to cut round the toilet.
Rigid fixings to the feed bending straight out from the wall and immediately going into a drain off valve (plumber must have run out of elbows!)
Screws in cistern rotted and siliconed to wall
Syphon loose
Pan bedded onto cement

So really couldn't be arsed with the potential pain

Depends - sometimes it's easier and neater to just extend the feed pipe, sometimes there's no iso valve so putting one of them in and shortening the feed works well.
Other times a flexi works best.
And every now and again, like this one, it's best to leave well alone.

Agree some toilets aren't worth the hassle taking out......and I've study the cutting round the toilet and it's spot on.....you would think it's going underneath it.........Some think every toilet should be taken out but imo it makes no difference providing spare tiles are left behind. .
