3 of them to do pita on the split faced tiles. Kop

sometimes split face tiles do not tie in close together - the product is notorious for misshapes.

The 1st photo, the tiles and plasterboard should been cut closer to the waste, flush inlet and bolts. Apart from that - it doesn't look too bad.

One more point - I never understand why folk have difficult to clean surfaces in wet areas.........

I thought that about the board and tile gap round the pipes too, don't think the toilet will cover that?

I assumed the tiles were cut around the shape of the pan.

You are correct Waluigi , ply is fitted to the frame toilet bolts to the frame and sits inside the split face tiled. Kop

But you are NOT supposed to cut around the pan... it is a surface mounted pan.

 

[Waluigi]

I think we know the reason why it has been cut around though don’t we?

To an extent, if the split face is that uneven, I’d rather install it to a flat surface (Ply wood) than bolt it against the peaks of a split face tile.

 

[Bill]

Whatever Walugi.... you do it your way and i will do it right. Simples.

 

[Waluigi]

It’s not my way. It’s not my job. I’ve never done anything other than fit a Wall mounted Pan against tiles.same goes for BTW Pans.

Whateverrrrrrrr

But it would be difficult to fix it back to split faced tiles!

Why would it? If i had to fix to split face i would grade the tiles for thickness.... no different when you have plug sockets or even the push plate flush button in the photo.
