  • I've nearly finished the process of doing my ensuite bathroom, a process mostly carried out by professionals, hence the lack of any previous posts, as my role so far has been fairly limited other than stripping the old bathroom out. However, one thing I am going to have to do is take about 5mm off the bottom of the door, as it barely clears the new tiled floor - replacing carpet, which I still think is a fecking stupid idea in a bathroom - and definitely won't clear the new threshold strip I still have to fit

    Any tips for taking 5mm off the bottom of the door? Current plan is to remove the hinge pins (the hinges need tweaking anyway), take 5mm off with a power plane, prime, paint and refit. All advice welcome, as I don't want to fuck things up this far into the process.

  • I'd go with your current plan. I've done it a few times with success. Just don't overdo the planing!

  • I used a panel hand saw. just make sure to sand it very smooth, especially if the door opens over carpet or it can snag.
