Hi all.
It would seem I have been very naive indeed. I wanted to start tiling the floor of my new shower area this evening.
I have come across a stumbling block however. The first tile I wanted to lay needs to have a square cut out of the centre of it to go over the drain (McAlpine jobby with a 150mm square plate).
My question is how do I go about doing this as I have found out that floor tiles are a darn site harder than wall tiles to cut/drill so my original plan of drilling 4 holes and jigsawing the square out has been binned (along with the 3 drill bits I've broken!).
I'm guessing I'll need some sort of diamond drill and special coated angle-grinder disc? Or am I aswell finding a local company who will make the cuts for me (if so can anyone recommend any in the Lancashire area?)
