My bathroom is all tiled and so far I've only needed the loo and the shower access panels (which are fine!). But now I need to get to the u-bend under the sink and I can't see how to do it.

There's a big tile under the sink which is siliconed in rather than grout like the rest of them, so I think it must be possible to remove for access, but I've tried pressing gently on the corners in case there's a catch there, but nothing happens. I'm not sure how to get it out!

Can you help me?

That's super clever! Yes, that does seem very useful, and I have a Wolseley nearby, I'll see if I can pick some up there.
And yes, I've cut through the silicone but not pulled it all off yet, that's a work in progress...
THANKS.
 
that tile runs behind the bath panel and shower screen
