I know it is too late now, but you can buy those cutters you put in a drill that is designed to cut circles, ive got a few and have drilled upto a 100mm hole in floor tiles before. Cost about $60

come on drum I was waiting for a pat on the back about my great idea

Hello all, I'm new to the forum but am impressed with the amount of good advice flying around.

I know this one has been solved in a round about way but if anyone ever come across this situation again (round waste in the middle of the floor) you should consider the following:
1/ Use the angle grinder to cut in from the back of the tile
2/ Use the nippers to rough out the hole close to the cut line
3/ Use a Dremel (or similar) to grind the cut out to a smooth finish.

Works a treat on ceramic tiles.

good odea mate yeah that way you wont ruin the front of the tile and chip it, Dam, that it so obvious i feel like a tool.

Whats you plan for cutting round the pipe, or have you done it already.

Whats you plan for cutting round the pipe, or have you done it already.

To be honest mate im going to lay the tub on top of the tiles and prop it up at the back with a small piece of wood to get the height and use he spirit level to get it all squared and level.

I didnt want to have to cut around the pipe hole for the tub because the tub i have has a shelf in the bottom of the tub so you wont see the tiles any way.

This way i dont have to cut the tiles and i will save time and save tiles aswell.

I will just lay it on top of the tiles sorrounding the pipe and it will look flush. A bead of silicone around the bottom and we are good to go.

I thought this way would be easier and it will look flush. If i had put the tub in first i would have had all these cut tiles sorrounding the tub when tiling up to it and would have looked silly.

ill post some pics of grouting

Np it's been done before, long as you are happy with the results who cares.




HJ0 Cheers Looking good

Drummelars, I would be a bit wary of putting silicone around the trough cabinet at floor level, unless its a plastic cabinet.

If its metal I would leave the gap open to allow any moisture/condensation to dry out as metal cabinets rust.
