Cutting 25cm x 2cm section from steel bath

Consider a standard 1700mm long by 700mm wide steel bath. If installed the bathroom door will just slightly hit it and so the door will not be able to go back to the wall when opened.
All the bath would need is, from the corner, a nip out of the length of 25cm and going into the bath a distance of just 2cm.
Has anyone had to do this, was just wondering if you had any comments.
Thanks.

I'd make the door open outwards ....0

In that scenario it would open onto a extremely small landing at the top of the steep staircase, so wouldn't be an option.PasturesNew wrote: »I'd make the door open outwards ....0 -
sliding door?
We have a 1500 bath, same scenario as you door wont open/would be extremely unpleasant at the top of the stairs. If you have the width of two doors its pretty easy to install a sliding door gear on the wall and hang to the runnersEven a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day, and for once I'm inclined to believe Withnail is right. We are indeed drifting into the arena of the unwell.0 -
Or bi-fold.Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.0

Sliding door wouldn't be an option. Bi-fold would be possible, however my preference would be to keep the door since it's an original period door which matches the other doors in the house.
I realise the enamel would shatter if cut, however I've seen re-enameling products for baths, so perhaps this could be applied after it was cut?0 -
Have you considered setting the bath into the wall 20mm ??0

......is the right answer, drilling and chiselling a 20 mm deep channel will be the easiest (and the easiest to get the finish looking right) option.

2 options
Set the bath in the the wall ,make you you get a item with a wide tap ledge . You may find that double ended baths have a wider ledge
Buy a Tapered bath , plenty available from the likes of bette,ideal and kaldewei
Don't cut the bath , it's the rolled underside that gives the edge its strength. It's something that couldn't be refinished and chances are the enamel would pingHi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure0
