Hi all

I have to fit a twin socket back in a kitchen and the top of the socket sits in the middle of two tiles. One is lower than the other and the socket will not fix back level. I need to trim the tile by about 3-4 mm. I was thinking of running a diamond disc cutter along it, any other ideas? I only need to remove about a 50mm length. The bottom of the tile is not supported by the wall behind as it drops below the level of the back box.
