Tiling

Drilling holes in tiles

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 2.55 PM

I am tiling a bathroom which involves drilling holes in tiles, should I drill the holes before or after fixing the tiles to the wall?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Either is fine, we normally cut any big holes for waste pipes etc during installation then holes for fixings once tiles are fitted.

Hi there, lets see if i can be of any help. Have you already fed the pipes etc through the wall? If so you need to make the holes prior to installation. If not then on after the tile installed has dried is better. You will also need to need to know what size hole you will be making and certain sizes require specialist tile cutting equipment. Hope that helps. Regards Irfan @ EKB Group
