Hi folks,
I'm in north county Dublin. Want to cut a strip of tile about 1.5 inches wide by 6 inches high to fill a gap. Is there anywhere you can bring a tile into that would cut it for you?

Thanks
Mick

Would https://www.woodies.ie/tile-scorer-1007720 and a pair of matchsticks do the job for you?
Score the tile with the scorer (on the glazed side!) along the line you need .. put the tile on a pair of matchsticks on the line and press .. job's good :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MONx8lFMnfA is roughly the method!

Rocca Tiles in Kylemore have cut tiles for me in the past because I had bought off them. You could try asking them if they would do it for a small fee.

Pop into a tool hire place and ask to use their tile cutter, or ask a staff member.

Just pop into a tool hire place.
A small tile cutter costs €20 a day. You just need it for 5 mins. They'd cut your tile for free.
