How to Drill a Hole Through a Tile
1. Mark the position on the tile using a felt tip.
2. Place some see through masking tape over the mark. Re mark the position on the tape. The tape is used to prevent the drill masonry bit sliding on the surface of the tile.
3. Fit your drill with a small diameter masonry bit - this helps prevent cracking. Begin slowly drilling at the mark until the bit has penetrated through the surface glaze of the tile.
4. Match a larger masonry drill bit with the screw you intend fix with.
5. Begin slowly drilling at the hole until you have enlarged the hole within the tile and also drilled through to the plaster behind it.
6. Insert a plug if necessary - then insert your fixing screw. Do not tighten the screw too far otherwise you will end up cracking the tile.
