Cutting 25cm x 2cm section from steel bath

[Possom]

If you really want to do this, then cut the 20 mm strip off the whole length of the wall side of the bath and most of the chipped enamel can then be covered with tiles

I hadn't thought of that.

Consider a plastic bath. You can cut it to whatever shape you like.

I'd forget about cutting the bath, for the reasons given. Either get a narrower bath or remove the door and trim half the necessary from each side. I'd go for the latter unless the door is already a bit narrow (bathroom doors sometimes are). It will still look as much a period door.

You can get P and tapered baths for tight spaces so you still have width for your shoulders (or to stand when showering).

If it's a period panel door slice it up the middle and make it into a bifold.

At least first check how much depth of plaster you have on that wall - my period house has at least 2cm, so wouldn't need any grinding of bricks.

Shriek. Why? He only needs 10mm off each side of it, and a strip of timber down one side of the door casing.

remove the door and trim half the necessary from each side.

That's a good idea too.
