Electric tile cutter or solid rimmed diamond disc in a angle grinder.

how would you tackle the socket senario, I have a single socket to cut out and a cooker, would a masonary hole cutter work?

As above, the grinder will easily do four cuts to give your cutout and it is possible to lower the tile onto the blade of an electric cutter but not to be advised as you need to remove the guard.
