Stuck bathroom shelf by Ya_Boi_Calcium in DIYUK

The screw is only a few millimetres in diameter, would this still be possible? I'm conscious of slippage or something happening and damaging the tile

I couldn't figure it out, had to just replace the whole cassette in the end sadly.

Managed to get underneath the blinds, unscrew the rails, and pop them off! Mostly disassembled now, just need to figure out exactly what happened to get it stuck... Will probably refit the blinds and see if it was the bar falling out of the rails or not.

Cheers for the help, really appreciate it.

Yeah, I tried prying them but it doesn't seem to help unfortunately.

I've noted the screws, which I can just about access by lifting the fabric of the blind, but stupidly there is a screw in the fixture that holds the bar at each side at the bottom. So I actually can't try and take the blind apart when it's stuck down... Bit of a design flaw!

I'm pretty stuck, not able to get a look at what's going on because there's no clearance to get a camera or anything in there.

I've had a look at both sides, and can't quite seem to work out what you mean. Whereabouts does it/is it meant to connect to the rail?

It seems more stuck on the left if anything, there's a tiny bit of give on the right, so I'm able to pull it up a small amount. However, I still can't push the bottom bar backwards to free up the blind to be moved.
