Which pipe are you two talking about?

Possibly one below the floor which may have been screwed through with the toilet fixings.

 

[Riley]

What drilled pipe?

Water pipe as in drilled down through tiles and caught a pipe

Wondering how the member got on with same problem and being taken to court now.

 

[Aire]

If you've wrapped all connections in kitchen roll and they've been dry but the floor still gets wet, It could possibly be as Riley has said, a screwed pipe under the floor so remove the toilet and the fixings and see if you get wet. Failing that it could be either condensation or you need to aim better when your using the toilet
