I bought the same style cheap diamond grit ones, right up to I think 100mm. They were spot on:

 

 

Well lubed with a water spray I even cut brick with the big one:

 

 

Ordered a 70mm for the niche downlight. See how that turns out.

Far too neat for something I’ll never see again 😂

Is it a niche product?

Sorted. You can slightly see the cut above the pan so I should have squared the top like I did the bottom.

Nothing a thicker bead of silicone won’t hide and I’ll know for next time!

I bet no one else would ever notice, DIY is great apart from knowing about all the little things that could have been done differently. Stuff you never get to know about if someone else had done it.

Yes.  There is not much margin for error at the top of the flush pipe hole.  The rest can be pretty rough.

Thinking back now, I just carried the flooring on from the Utility in the next room, which has resulted in a full width tile on the right of the pan and a half width tile on the left. Ideally I'd have re-centred the tiles in the W/C so I had similar width cuts at both sides - like I did in the Utility room to begin with!. Hey ho.
