    Instructions say to use a 47mm metal back box. Did you check the depth of the existing box and do you reckon plastic is acceptable instead of metal?

    Wondering if drill is set to high speed or low speed? 1 or 2 on a dewalt? Sounds like high speed. I tried at low speed and it took forever but I was afraid to burn out the bit. Darned things cost like $25 each with tax in Canada. The millwalki diamond ones with the flat heads touted as superior. The pilot hole idea seems good too, but then you need 2 bits that are going in the trash after a few holes and using the flat head bits doesn't make sense then. Also saw a few guys who put some plumbers putty in a U shape around the hole to retain a puddle of water. Seems like a good idea. Also wondering if lots of pressure or light pressure works best. Hammer or no hammer, which one burns the bits out quicker. Nobody seems to tell you that either. Also noticed he was not going straight in with the second bit. Going in circular angels? That's not going to leave a clean 6.5 mill hole is it? More like 7.5. Then what anchor size do you use. Never using porcelain again. I had two grab bars each with 6 holes to drill. It's just not practical to spend two hours and two burned up drill bits and then the plastic anchors don't stick well either. At least a few would spin around in the hole or just come out. Who came up with this insanely stupid idea. It took me a week to gather the courage to do the second grab bar. I'd rather drink bleach.

    Great ! Do you always put bath first and then tile on top? What’s the disadvantage of tiling slightly below bath line and then adding bath ? I figure it’s easier to use a step to tile rather than clambering about in bath but I’m new to this.

    • @lesterbathrooms3948
      @lesterbathrooms3948 6 дней назад

      Bath in first, fill bath and seal, tile and grout, fill bath and seal. The process is about getting a water tight seal on the bath. If you sit the bath against the tiles you won’t benefit from a double seal.

    Thanks for the tips, breaking the glaze really works! I used Fischer Duopower 6x30 and drilled 6.5mm through the tile. I then drilled 6mm into the wall with another Bosch Expert bit and it worked perfectly. I was a bit paranoid about breaking the tile hammering the screw/plug combo so I drilled a spare tile at 6.5mm and pushed the plugs I was using through that first

    Great video! I'm looking at some ceramic tiles from the Spanish brand Metropol Ceramica for shower walls and this vid is so useful. The tiles I want have a rough textured effect and I wonder if that could be problematic in terms of cleaning/mould? But they're far less textured than the moulded 3D ones you showed at 1:28, so I'm assuming they're OK over the long term?

    Hi, just curious as to why you're using a 6.5mm drill bit instead of a 6mm drill bit for those wall plugs? is it so you have a bit more room to hammer it through? Also, would there be a risk of the wall plug slipping through when fixing to plasterboard as you are drilling the screw in, in your experience? Thanks

    I bought the 6.5mm drill bit using this link to drill my porcelain tiles. My floor tiles are 8mm porcelain and it had no problem with one hole I needed to do for the door stop. But for the 10mm porcelain wall tiles it really struggled. It was super hard work to get through it with this bit and the bit was totally trashed after 4 holes (for the vanity unit). When I read the packet it says it's not really intended for porcelain. Have a missed something here? Or better to just use the diamond bits?

    • @lesterbathrooms3948
      @lesterbathrooms3948 Месяц назад

      I prefer these to diamond bits personally (both wear out quickly) and obviously I work with porcelain every day, it’s just my preference. But I do emphasise in the video about using a smaller bit to pilot hole the tiles, it’s so much easier and quicker. Did you do this?

      @@lesterbathrooms3948 Thanks for your reply. I've just realised what happened. I watched your other video How To Drill and Fix into TILES | Solid Walls or Plasterboard. I didn't realise that wasn't for porcelain and missed the link in the description for this video. There was only a link there for the 6.5mm drill bit and that was the only one discussed in the video. Then when I went to comment I put "drilling tiles" into the search and this vid came up. I didn't realise it was a different video. But thanks anyway, I've still got a few holes to go so will pilot hole in future!

    I put things that need descaling into the kettle at the same time I descale it. Strips all the limescale away and gets right into every nook. I use Oust kettle descaler, and after the items are cleaned and removed from the kettle, I spray them with 3-in-1 oil afterwards (as wd40 evaporates). Sometimes I use wd40 in the process too, but not to lubricate before assembling again.

That sounds ridiculous, why not just tell us how is done or what can we do to fix it, prevented 🙄🙄 omgs. I'm sorry to be rude, i don't mean to be rude but I had to point it out because there is how scars people from actually trying, and that just sounds fking awful sir.

    Ive been a tiler now for 15 years and this is exactly the way i do it. Great tutorial for beginers. Tilings not about getting everything in the centre or starting off with a full tile, depends on how your other cuts will look, big rule is to not have thin slithers of cuts, as they look awful and hard to cut. Setting out is one of the most important parts of tiling.
