  1. as @Crispy says.
    diamond tipped hole cutter but going slow and plenty of water as a coolant.
    if you have drilled a tile with a normal drill they tend to burn if to fast.......

    Would it make it crack/shatter? I've only drilled holes in granite and marble work tops and porcelain tiles. @lost-en-france maybe you're better off listening to @Geordie :)
     
  6. Depends on the sink suppose but normally if its for taps they go behind the sink. tricky plumbing job as well. i fit the taps and 2m of flex on the work top before fitting.
    Does thats make sense:confused:

    Why is this thread titled incorrectly?

    Let me rephrase that, traditionally taps were fixed to the wall but with the modern world of standardisation more and more are being fixed to the sink itself.
     
  16. Those modern sinks usually have a knock out bit for the tap. One each side so that you can have the draining board left hand or right hand.

    Isn't trepanning what they did in medieval times to drain folks heads of bad humours? Bad humour as in the ancient four humours theory, nothing to do with Mrs Brown's Boys. C'mon @bernjb56 , you're a scientist, am I on the right lines here? Did you offer trepanning at your place?
