Best way to realign my toilet pan waste ?!?

[Blharry]

Hi all,

I've recently tiled my bathroom floor which has raised my toilet pan about 10mm. The result of this is my pan waste does not quite align anymore :/
I've looked at many options e.g. Flexible to solve this but wanted to know the best way?

Please see pictures below. Thanks in advance!

Quick and easy way, not the best way but gets it done

The other way involves you cutting that grey pipe back a bit and using something like this

Thanks for the quick reply! I'd like to avoid option one as I have read so many horror story's about flexible! Have you had any experience with option 2? Presumably one end will go onto grey pipe and the other onto the end of the corner piece? Picture isn't clear on my phone!
Is there any other options?

Rigid pipe is always a better option tbh, don't write off multiquiks though, looks like you will have to do something about that inlet pipe if you go down rigid route, tiler has left a bigger enough hole for it.

Look into offsets, i have never used them, someone else might reply..

you wont be far away with this,
http://www.wickes.co.uk/single-socket-drain-bend-20deg/invt/432006/

remove pan connector,

fit the ring seal side on your soil pipe as it is now,

measure and cut the pan connector to size,
job done

Offsets only come in straight pattern. You will still need the 90° turn. That would involve a Multilink, the offset and a 90°.

Nothing wrong with flexis - if fitted correctly.

Thanks for all the replies! Multikwik seems the better way to go. I've had a quick look through wickes etc but can't seem to see what I need! Is this a product I'll need to purchase online or am I being blind?

Not the fastest mover off the shelves, rarely stocked locally.

Reasonable price on Ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MULTIKWIK...DIY_Materials_Plumbing_MJ&hash=item43b3a8262e
