Posted: 15:56 - 28 Jun 2017 Post subject: Cutting tiles |
|
|
Just having to refit some tiles in our bathroom, as the bath has slipped an had been stuck to the wall with adhesive straight onto the tiles
this causes the existing tiles to be dragged off the wall.
So, I have fixed the bath an repositioned the bath an now screwed it to the wall.
The issue i have now is i need to trim tiles down to fit them, but i only need about 25mm of each tile - in the past i ended up smashing more tiles than cutting when going this small.
any ideas?>
I thought a dremel but reckon it will take weeks to cut em all |

Would have come and done them for OP if they were a bit closer to me, I'm a pretty handy tiler even if I say so myself
and have fixed many 1000's of tiles in my time. Score and snap cutter is the simplest type of cutter for the cuts the OP
wants to do. Make sure the bath is empty before measuring your cuts. Measure each cut separately as they will all
be slightly different sizes then fill it with water before redoing your silicone. Be sure to use silicone with a fungicide. China
graph pencil is ideal for drawing lines on tiles. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

I managed to use score/snap and nibblers to cut tiles to fit round the sockets in our kitchen so straight lines shouldn't be an issue.
Gotta admit I snapped about 5 before I got the hang of it though |

cheers all, got a cheap set of nibblers from screwfix which worked a treat
the cuts were to small to do on the tile cutter - score an snap thingy, so i just scored them on the cutter then nibbled em.
