Drilling ceramic tiles for pipes - Tile Advice

[retirementdiyer]

Hi experts,
I need to drill ~25mm and ~12mm holes in 9mm ceramic tiles for pipes and basin fixings. Can anyone tell me what is the best bits to buy? I am only doing my own bathroom (not a pro) and only need these two sizes but should I just buy the 365 set?

365 do individual cores if you don't want to buy a full set.

Thank you; it does seem to be the cheaper and most popular choice.

If you want the main set its £49.99 so good value because we sell thousands of them.

We also do custom sizes service. As a rule of thumb we charge about £1 per milimeter for the smaller diamond cores so in the case of your sizes its 25mm + 12mm a total of £37 if you only wanted those two specific sizes. And you only wanted one drill of each. A drill plate and a cooling sponge.

Best value at £49.99

Also consider adding the £4.99 tool-pack. It contains a water sponge to cool the drills (essential) and a J-hook to clear blockages from the smaller cores (critical)

The kit does larger service pipe sizes at 16mm, 30mm and 40mm and you can also use the sizes cut cut plugs out of tiles for other things like the electrical cable example above.

Most projects need rawl plugs for fittings.

For example to put up shampoo bottle holders, loo roll holders, toothbrush, mirror, cabinets (list goes on)

But if you need them bespoke sizes (this is the 25mm example) then of course we have a full and comprehensive range for all jobs.
