Looking for advice on the best way to cut a floor tile in situ.
Plan is to cut a straight line in line with the grout line of the tiles above and below - visually not ideal, I know, but I need to 'repair' a bathroom floor and only have a few spare tiles so need to make the most of what I have.
Any advice/guidance/tips on how to go about this and tools to use greatly appreciated.
(My plan, for what it's worth, was to score the tile and then remove the portion on the left - not sure if there is a suitable attachment for a multitool that can help with this as, my guess is an angle grinder may be too aggressive).

sorted byYou will need to take it slow & with not much force.
As mentioned use masking tape and draw a straight line on it to follow. (edited)

I'd cut at a slight angle, if you do a straight vertical cut you'll leave a sharp edge..
As your leaving half of the tile you need to ensure the part being removed is fully cut from the tiles that are being left, if you don't you'll probably damage the tiles your looking to leave intact. (edited)
Would this angle grinder cutting blade be suitable?
I already have a used and new one so wondered if it would be suitable – if not, can buy one of the ones recommended.
This is what you are after. A solid cutter.
