Cutting floor tiles already stuck on the floor

[curium]

I tiled the bathroom floor February 2009. They're plain ceramic tiles to my knowledge and I stuck them down with BAL Flex adhesive and grouted with BAL Microcolour with Admix GT1 for flexibility (thought I'd include this info incase it makes a difference).

Unfortunately, being a novice, I've laid the tiles up to the face of the door jam and I need to cut them back in preparation for laying new carpet in the hallway (once I've finished painting the hall).

Can anyone advise on the best way to proceed? I was planning to just purchase this angle grinder, draw a straight line, cover with masking tape and cut.

I also need to cut out a damaged tile in the other bathroom as well as rake out all the grout there as I had a "professional" do that bathroom and it needs re-grouting as the grout has cracked in several places. I thought the same tool used to correct the doorjam could also be used for this.

Here's a picture of the doorjam problem:

You wont be able to cut them once layed, you could try a grinding cutting disc.
As for getting one up without breaking others..it can be done not easy.
You need to just chip away at it from the centre, rack the grout out first

Grind away 2cm of tile?!

Why can I not cut them? What would happen if I used a diamond disc on the angle grinder? Would it just shatter or fail to cut?

Try it see what happens...grinding/cutting

the problem with using a grinder is that you wont be able to cut the tiles full length because of cutting into door frame,
Do you have any spare tiles, you could remove the 2 cuts you have at the door and make new cuts with your spare tiles OR try taking those 2 cuts out without breaking them and clean the addy off the back, cut to size then replace

Could you fashion a threshold strip to cover the extra tile depth, and hide the transition from carpet to tile?
