Anyone had any luck removing a toilet pan that has been tiled around after fitting?
 
Screws holding down?
Remove them.
Sit on the floor. Place feet against toilet.
Start thumping and pushing with feet.
You can escalate by putting something heavy behind you like someone else back to back or a box full of books
 
I'm just saying how I've removed in the past as pans are set on sand as and cement sometimes.
You can chip out any grout around but I just except that fact the toilet might break. Replacement starts at £65 so no big deal if you break it.
 
Thank if the toilet breaks it's no issue at all. As it's getting swapped for a concealed cistern toilet. It's just getting it out without damaging the surrounding tile
 
If it's that tight in and some reasonable pushing and pulling isn't loosening then I'd be looking to cut it around the grout at the pan. Dremel with a diamond blade would probably do the job.

Worst case would be to crack it off with a hammer to leave the foot then a chisel to break inwards away from the tile.

Just break the pan out with a hammer, 2 minutes job.
 
And that should migrate the issue of damage to the surrounding tile
 
The new pan will not fit the old pan footprint, I'm not sure it will matter that much.
 
Thank no it's having a concealed cistern and back to wall pan. The back to wall pan should cover the old hole
