![]() "David WE Roberts" wrote in message ... Hi, I am replacing a shower tray. The old one had sloping sides the new one (plus platform) will have vertical sides. As the tray was let in to the tiles I need to straighten up the sloping cut on one of the tiles to make it vertical. I would prefer just to cut it in situ but this seems to have a potential for ending in tears. I don't have any spare tiles - I could just hack the tile off and use a white replacement but would prefer to keep the existing tile if possible. So - score gently with an angle grinder (hah!) then cold chisel off? snip Don't know why I went 'hah'. The tile was fixed on a deep bed of plaster so my small angle grinder cut a nice straight notch up the tile and was able to sink into the plaster underneath which allowed me to cut right up to the edge of the tile. Because the tile was supported underneath it didn't crack. After all the usual over thinking, plus pricing up of Dremmel tools, turned out to be a doddle. Thanks for all the advice. Cheers Dave R |
