Can you elaborate on this please Oli? I'm probably just dense, but i'm not 100% sure what you mean!?! Are these holes at the mid points, corners, edges, or doesn't it matter too much?

Great thread BTW, learning loads arlready!

Something like this mate usually works for me.


Although the purpose of the holes are just to help break the tile so you can use more or less holes, or hole(s) in different places depending on the size of the tile and the place and severity of the crack etc.

Some people are happy not to drill holes at all, they just cover the tile with a cloth and break it with a hammer. I find using 4 holes works best for me in most situations.

Be carefull with holes and wall tiles though, dont need to be flooding the bathroom, just replacing the tile
