Stand by and I'll drop it on the site. For the 90mm version, the internal depth is 85mm - and they'll also do custom sizes if you need!

I guess just a matter of removing tiles, insert niche, cut/re-tile surface and possibly use a feature tile within the Niche... mmmm! sounds like a DIY project to me.
