STEP ONE: PREPARE THE WALL OR FLOOR FOR SUCCESS

To prepare your tile for the drill bit, start by adhering masking tape to the portion of the tile where you intend to drill. Placing a mark on the tape is much easier and more visible than applying it directly on the tile.If you are drilling a hole for accessories such as a towel bar, you should use a level to ensure both holes are aligned. Since the edges crack more easily, you should try placing the holes at the centre of the tile.

STEP TWO: DRILL STARTING AT 45 DEGREES

When the drill bit is first making contact with the tile, hold it firm and steady and at 45 degrees against the tile’s surface. Once you’ve drilled a groove into the tile to help you keep your drill bit in place as you cut through, you can slowly start rotating the bit and moving it into a vertical position. The purpose of this is to help prevent the drill bit from sliding over the tile and out of your control.

STEP THREE: USE AN ORBITAL MOTION AS YOU DRILL

Once you have the drill bit in a vertical position, you should rotate it in an orbital motion to help dust escape and to help air enter the hole where you’re drilling. This reduces the friction created while perforating and helps cool the drill bit with air. Keep up this orbital motion until you finish drilling.
