Cutting On The Curve

[gamma38]

As Bri says, template for me as well, by far the easiest. I just cut some paper to the size of a tile then it makes life even easier.

I tend to use a grinder for curved cuts, much more control than using a wet cutter and nippers. Instead of using a profile gauge, get yourself some thick lining paper and make a template, it gives much more accurate results in my experience of using both methods.

Nearest bit of Corex or the box the tile came in for me!

Could you not just drill out the screw heads and remove pan?

Diggy

If it was a standard white suite yeah, cracked pan equals a trip to Travis Perkins. This is an Avocado, been in since the house was built, went out with the Betamax, not seen one for yonks pan. If I break it I'm in it deep. Hence tiling around it

Tiling around an Avocado suite.......Is the customer waiting for Avocado to come back in to fashion?

White titan gris apparently. You know the more I think about this, the more I don't want the job.

Don't make more of it than it is Andy.
Just make a template to follow and u'll be fine!
And try set floor out so that it makes going around the pan easy.
In a perfect world u wanna dissect the pan on both axis!
Again with the basin pedestal if u can't remove it!
Jiggle between the two where poss to give urself the best chance!
Then it'll be simple as!
Good luck, and don't forget the pics!
