Bit stupid here, but hoping you guys can help come up with a solution

brought this closed couple toilet
http://www.ideal-standard.co.uk/concept/standard-toilet-(close-coupled)-wc-e794101.aspx

The wall has been tiled and I've just realised that the soil pipe is running along the wall and will need to turn 90 degrees to connect to the toilet.

This means that the decorator won't be able to get the toiler back to the wall (as the soil pipe will be blocked by the toilet)

Not sure what to do and really need help (my house is turning into a nightmare at the moment)

my thoughts were
1: Is it possible for the decorator to drill into the back side of the cistern so that the soil pipe can fit through and then turn 90 degrees and connect to the toilet (thus getting flush to the wall)

2: Take a hit and buy this one instead

3: try and persuade my tiler to take down the tiles against the wall and build a frame to allow it to connect to the toilet



please help!

I have known them to be cut with an angle grinder then the soilpipe boxed in an tiled so not visable.
 
Why do the tiles need to come off to build a frame? Just plant it on top of the tiles, box it in and tile it. Failing that it may be cheaper to go for option 2.
