The new tub is a couple inches wider than the old, so the masonry
floor tile (ceramic?) is
going to have to be taken back by that amount. There will be a similar
situation
around the new vanity, as the footprint is about 1/2" wider. I do have
some spare tiles,
but I'm wondering if it might be easier to somehow trim the existing
tiles in place.
Is this possible? That is, could I rent a cutter of some kind that I
could neatly cut
along a line drawn on the tile and then chisle out the pieces? Or, is
this likely
to make a mess of it?

TIA

skill saw with dry diamond bit for the field and the rotor saw for the edges

Harbor freight for the diamond blades, not all that expensive considering
what you can pay for them

Thanks. I'll have to wander around HD or Harbor Freight to
see what some of these tools look like.
