    Hi

    I bought one of those plastic end of bath panels but it is a little too high. What tool would you use to cut a piece off it?

    Thanks in advance.:)

    A stanley knife will score it and allow you to snap off excess. Alternatively, I have used a 4" hand grinder with a tile cutting disc. Very effective.

    Have had to do this before and a jigsaw on low speed (really low) done the trick a treat. Drew the line in pencil and made sure it was well clamped..

    A good fine toothed Hand Saw will also do it. As was said already make sure to clamp it down well. Scribe a pencil line and score with a Stanley if you wish but not necessary. The secret is to then let the saw do the work by pushing gently and not rushing it.

    Scoring with a new sharp stanley blade is the way i would do them regularily.

    Anyone in the trade does them with a standley blade generally. Anything mechanical you risk cracking it. Just remember. Cut it at the bottom not the top. The top needs its notch to clip under the bath. On that note also leave enough to consider its going under the bath.
