I have a glass-fibrebath with no holes cut for the taps. What tool do I need to cut these holes?

Something like this will sort you out, use masking tape when you have marked the centres to stop slipping and chipping

A hole saw
on an arbour
mounted in a drill usually does the job nicely.
Bath tap tails are usually (but not always) about 27mm diameter, and the base of most taps will cover about a 30mm hole.
A try-out on a bit of scrap timber or plywood will help you gauge if your hole saw is likely to cut an oversized hole - some cheap ones do.

Before you drill holes, have a look on the underside to make sure that where you are about to drill is flat enough to take the back-nut. Sometimes fiberglass baths are quite curved underneath. Measure several times before drilling.
