I am putting in a larger offset shower tray. Chipboard floor is in good condition and joists are in suitable positions to take weight.
Flooring up to edge of old shower tray is vinyl fake wood lathes stuck to fairly thin ply stuck to the chipboard.
I need to cut back the ply to the edge of the new tray without weakening the chipboard. Any idea how? Circular saw will not follow bend of offset. Jigsaw would need to go through chipboard to be accurate. Stanley knife is not tough enough.
I am reluctant to build the new tray higher and go on top because that would mean a lot more tiling and the tiles are old and no longer available.
TIA for any ideas.
