Trimming Fibre Glass bath
 

Ive put laminate flooring down in my bathroom. Now the bath side panel,
one piece with top and bottom "flanges", doesn't fit back in. The bath
canot be raised - pipe lengths, etc

I've searched Google to no avail, can anyone advise what Dremel tool
might be good for trimming off an inch of the fibre glass bath, please?

A hacksaw.

Sorry if I sound thick but isn't it the panel that needs trimming
....I'm just thinking of how my bath panel fits in a groove under the
lip of the bath .

Probably didn't put it too well!

Think of the side panel as having the top and bottom bent over at 90deg
to the vertical, like a square bracket sign : [ , with these upper and
lower "flanges" about 4 inches.
This slips in under the lip of the bath.
