I mentioned this to the contractor who talked to the tile guy and he said that this is standard to stay away from the toilet, but I'm not convinced this is right. Does anyone else out there with heated tile floors in the bathroom have their heat right up to where you would stand / sit at the toilet?

Electric floor heating or is it plumbed in? Electrical code says outlets (I'm not sure if this extends to in floor heating resistors) must be further than 1m away from any water supply or drain with the exception of low voltage wires for automatic flushing.
