  • Having new windows soon and I need to 'prepare the apertures' - cut back plasterwork and window boards to accept the deeper frames. Gonna replace the window boards wholesale with solid oak so that's not a problem. Biggest head-scratcher is the bathroom, which is tiled into the reveals. Will I be able to cleanly cut these back by the required 30mm using something like a Dremel?

  • We use a tool called a laminate cutter. It looks like a Dremel with a plastic base to hold it at right angles to the surface that you are cutting.
    Specific blades for plastic and ceramic, even glass.

  • something like a Dremel

    Something like an angle grinder with diamond cutting disc will work better. Masking tape on the tiles, then mark and cut. Will be dusty.

  • My success at cutting tiles with a Dremel was minimal. I went with a vibrating multi-tool with a tile blade which did the job but was still slow.
