Thanks! Well made video, easy to understand with common sense tips. I totally would have seated the screw plug flush with the tile had I not seen your video first.

I have to say, I thought the guy hanging the mirror was another person until I heard him speak and realized it's you, just wearing glasses. Good job, thanks for this :)

Do you have any advice for layover tiles (meaning I have another layer of old tiles behind the new ones) if I want to accomplish the same thing? Do I still approach it the same way? Also, how about drilling on the grouting itself? Any help is appreciated.

How do you make sure that the hole you are drilling remains a single horizontal and vertical plane without deviating?

Thanks for the great video. Quick question. Where do you buy your bathroom furnishings from?

Are you using a regular Masonry drill bit and is the Hammer on when drilling?

@bathroomplumbingandfitting7089 6 жыл бұрын

Once I've gone through with the tile/glass bit then I do use a masonry drill bit which is on hammer. Obviously not in hammer mode when I initially go through the tile though

An extra tip for a longer lifespan of the drill tip - cool it down with water during work.

Got a question. What if the plug is longer than the tile? My drill can not enter the wall behind the tile. So is it ok to just cut off the long part of the plug? I see no other solution for this. Trying to drill into the wall behind the tile with hammer action may damage the tile. Also is there any way to drill into a normal wall that does nor have tile without a hammer action drill? Thanks mate

Once you drill through the tile, you can switch on hammer again. It wouldn't damage the tile if you hold the drill without moving around. Some people they drill a bigger hole on the tile and then a smaller one on the concrete, so the smaller drill bit with hammer mode on will not touch the tile. That's playing safe but not a must.

@@hfjchan thanks for the reply I managed to get through it on my small project. Using a tile bit helped a lot. The brick behind it was relatively easy to get into. I had some guys come yesterday to put up mdf cabinets and they had a huge drill. It was able to easily drill into the ceramic tile. I do have another project my new toilet seat one of the plugs does not quite fit because the toilet was poorly made. And one of the holes on one side is too small. I was drilling it larger with a diamond round bit but it was slow going so I never finished it. Been that way for a few months. Maybe someday I will try to finish that but I have a lot of projects in this house.

The tilings really bad on that wall, no wonder your covering it up! Also the heads of the plugs don't expand just the body. Tiles are cracked by using screws that are the wrong size for the wall plug used.
