HOW TO DRILL TILES FOR SHOWER

This video will show you how to drill tiles for shower pipes, plumbing pipes, wires and anything! I'll show you how to use a diamond tile drill properly. In this video we drill the tiles for a shower head with a 22mm pipe. This video will also work for 15mm and any diamond drill cutter. This video works for wall tiles and floor tiles.

My husband HATES DIY with a passion. If I want anything done in our house I have to do it myself. I've watched so many of your videos and now I'm plumbing and tiling a utility room. NEVER done anything like this before. Now I've levelled the floor, installed underfloor heating, levelled again, and tiled all but the tricky ones. I'm tiling around radiator pipes today. Your videos have made SUCH a difference ... so here's a super thanks (below), go buy yourself a beer on me. Gilly x (p.s. super thanks comment disappeared - hope you got it)

I saw a video of someone putting a little water inside the wood template. I put a wet sponge inside the bit and a little water inside the wood template, worked like a charm!

Love the wooden guide!
Saw some dudes putting a disk of wet sponge inside the drill to save on dipping

I've just gone back to college at 35 to learn plumbing and your vids have seriously pushed me along. Heart felt thanks. Also what happens to the pipework behind?

[mikechivers]

Thank you for doing all the videos you do. I'm doing a plumbing course later in the year and your videos are the best to learn from. 👍

Good video, and if the diamonds become clogged and dull you can freshen them up by drilling into an old brick🧱 . Learnt that one from skillbuilder 😆

Hi James, love your work. One thing I can’t get my head round is how to make it water tight after you’ve drilled?
It seems we go overkill now using waterproof backing boards, then tanking and sealing the joints and fixings, only to drill dirty great holes through it all. Am I not understanding something? (Probably!)

[AMMO]

That is such a fab idea! The template idea is priceless. Hold tight!👍👍

Excellent video! 👏 Congratulations. Where is the hole cutting tool? I couldn't see it.

[Uzi-romm]

I learn so much from these videos, really appreciate them

[Tiger_brave]

Thank you for this video... I really appreciate it .. but I have a question please .. how do you mark the spot on the tile with the pipe?

[CrookedSkew]

I am trying to decide whether to do the tiling or not so the plumber can finish the shower. Whether I got with a tiler or do it myself, now I know how it is done - thanks.

Hi what diameter of diamond cutter do i need fo 15 mm pipe

[paullefur]

Dude need your pearls of wisdom before I destroy porcelain tiles, to reduce the chance of a break or chip at the back of the tiles using a wetsaw its said to flip the tile and notch it 1inch for small tiles and 2 inches for larger tiles, flip the tile back over and cut as normal and hopefully cut with no issues, or is the problem the blade, I bought a cheapo wet tile cutter do you think the blade that came with is prob not that good I have seen cutting disks that cost more than I paid for this el cheapo. thoughts pls buddy or anyone thanks in advance Paul.

Great job! I have drilled tons of pilot holes for toilet flanges where slight chips and imperfections don’t matter as much since they are under the toilet. I’m going to give this a trial before I move the shower head location from the Sheetrock ceiling to the tile wall.

How would you make a 4 inch hole in tile for extractor fan?
