Anyone come across any/know where to get some? Thinking something like those offset connections you get with some bar mixer showers, but in rad tail form. The reason is that the tiler on a job I'm working on has cut his tiles tight to the pipes but 10mm too far apart, so the towel rail I'm fitting doesn't line up with the pipes coming through the floor (I drilled big holes on first fix to allow a bit of post-installation movement...) Tiles are mega hard, can't be drilled, so no chance of chipping the edge away either.

Any ideas anyone? Failing this I'll have to find some straight-through valves that aren't quite straight-through, only issue there of course is that they won't match the other towel rails in the house, so if offset tails are available they'd be the best option.

Oh yeah, one final thing, no chance of getting anything on the pipework before the valves as, due to limited headroom, the towel rail had to be installed quite low to the floor and so there's only an inch of pipework before the valves.

:idea: Nibble the tile around the pipe with a small chisel
:idea: Get the tiler back to sort it out
:idea: Try to adapt one of those offset fittings that you get with showers

Snow may mean I can't get there for a while, maybe not til after Christmas, rail is approx 600×1200 although I can't swear to that as it was supplied by the customer
