Dear All
I'm currently in the process of tiling our new downstairs shower room and hallway. I'm using 30cmx30cm porcelain tiles and so far my tile scorer - the score and snap type has been fine for straight cuts and my diamond wheel wet saw has been fine for double or L-shaped cuts.
The problem I now have is how to tile around the soil pipe where the toilet will go. The pipe comes straight up out of the floor about 20 cm from the wall. The tile layout has left me with the need to cut a pipe sized semi circle in two tiles. The pipe itself has a 11cm circumference.
My question is what is the best way to do this? Do I need a diamond drill or would a scorer and tile nippers do? I'm trying to get the best finish possible with as smooth an edge as possible.
Any advice gratefully received.
Regards
Matthew
