I usually square the tile up, against the pan check at the joint how much over i am and holding my pencil at the required gap scribe around the pan.. lol if that makes any sense.. 40-50 mm at a time depending on the cut

Could use a compass, not something that points north, has a pencil in one end and use that for scribing.

I use a squadro blade, works a treat on curved cuts

As Bri says, template for me as well, by far the easiest. I just cut some paper to the size of a tile then it makes life even easier.

I tend to use a grinder for curved cuts, much more control than using a wet cutter and nippers. Instead of using a profile gauge, get yourself some thick lining paper and make a template, it gives much more accurate results in my experience of using both methods.

Nearest bit of Corex or the box the tile came in for me!

Could you not just drill out the screw heads and remove pan?

If it was a standard white suite yeah, cracked pan equals a trip to Travis Perkins. This is an Avocado, been in since the house was built, went out with the Betamax, not seen one for yonks pan. If I break it I'm in it deep. Hence tiling around it

Tiling around an Avocado suite.......Is the customer waiting for Avocado to come back in to fashion?
