I bought some of wickes urban grey ceramic floor tiles with a view to laying them this week. However, I needed to make a few cuts using the hand tile saw, which I have used many times with ease. Will the saw make a dent in these tiles...No...It defo says they are ceramic, but I'm totally baffled with this phenomenon. Any ideas would be welcome. I don't have an electric wet saw, incase anyone suggests it.:anguished:

No, it's a brand new bit. Whereby it has cut through other ceramics with ease, it's as if I'm using a file and getting nowhere.

If you have a grinder, get a diamond tile blade for it, will easily cut thru ceramic

I know the tile. It's a low-grade porcelain.
You will only cut them with a diamond blade, in a wet saw or grinder, or a half-decent tile cutter (even a Rubi will probably manage)

No, haven't got one.. Might be cheaper to change the tiles, I'm thinking...although it's only small cuts from skirting to door threshold.

Grinders can be had for ÂŁ15 and a blade for ÂŁ10.
The only outcome I can imagine from a blade in a drill is a long wait in A&E and a feeling of deep regret!

You can get a wet cutter from screwfix for just over ÂŁ30.

I've been reading stuff on this site for some time. I thought it was a site for tilers to discuss jobs and problem / solutions but it seems to have become some sort of free advice site for diyers and such like who either have messed up the jib or who are trying to catch out the guys (or girls) who they have employed to do a job.
