The existing screws will more than likely be fine.The are usually much longer than needed and you spend ages screwing them up to them tight

I'll need to check once I order Acrylic Cover via Amazon?

That was very fast from Leyland...

Two more Essential questions please.

What do I purchase from Homebase or Screwfix to Cut Moulding to Size.
As Moulding exceeds Gap, is it possible to Trim top or bottom please.

If One Tool can be recommended to Cut Length+Trim

thanks

It's possible, but it'll look ugly if you do this. Fix it over the tiles.

Assuming it's made from 'foamy' plastic, it should be cuttable using a craft knife, the larger type with 18mm snap-off blades. 

Keep fingers away.

Can you get corner caps to hide the cuts in the corners?

Don't trim the actual profile of the coving, just its length. Fit it over the tiles.

Undo one screw at a time to check. If it comes out, ooh, at least 6mm, you should be fine. Screw it back in, and then try the other one.

It doesn't seem 'Foamy'
WT6 WALLSTYL® PLASTIC LIGHTWEIGHT CORNICE COVING – 2M × 3

I did visually consider Bottom half covering Tiles, though not planning on using Adhesive onto Tiles.
Not sure how Flush Coving will sit.
Is it Craft knife to cut this nice Plastic coving.
I failed to order Edging, though I don't mind for Bathroom.

thanks

Maybe try existing Stanley Knife, if not Craft knife or Mitre Saw.
Meanwhile the kitchen Socket Screws very akward position, I'll check once Cover arrives.

Yes, that will cut easily with a craft knife.

Please don't try and trim it lengthways - you just won't be able to do it straight, and it'll look hellish :-)

How will you make the corners look neat? Your two choices are to 'mitre' the ends, which is not easy unless you have the correct tool - and that is unlikely to be worth it. And the other is to add decorative caps over it. Not idea if these are available for your product.

To fix, cut it to length, hold it in place to check, make some light pencil marks on the tile and ceiling in order to guide it if you want, run a bead of adhesive along each 'flat' (the parts that make contact with the tiles and ceiling), press gently into position, smooth it along, and wipe away any excess adhesive that squished out. For that latter reason, I prefer to use solvent-free adhesive, as a wet cloth will wipe it away. I usually add enough so it does extrude, and that then also fills the join.

The Adheive arrived with Coving as per earlier photo, though added detailed photo.
Tiles|+Ceiling?

I thought Walls underneath Ceiling¡.
I'll not attempt toTrim top, only Length per Wall.
