How to Drill Holes into a Bath | Tutorial | DIY |Install Bath Taps
Not all baths have pre-drilled holes to accommodate bath taps. In this tutorial I show you how drill the holes accurately and cleanly without damaging the bath.
Really this sort of thing should be done by an experienced fitter but this will at least give you an idea as to how the job is done.
I can't stress highly enough how important it is to use a quality hole cutting set and drill. A poor quality hole cutter will vibrate and move which could easily jump out and damage the bath.

A great tip I found is to drill your tap holes through a scrap piece of wood first, and make sure the taps fit into that. Effectively gives you a dry run first and allows you to practice the technique before you drill the actual bath.

I am definitely going to do this. I definitely do not want to make a mess of a £200 bath...
This video showed me what type of bit to use for tub faucet installation. The video was very clear and contained many tips for a successful installation.
Great way of showing , and your right on to just showing a very easy and well explained on how to do it. Thank you
Great video. One thing I recommend is not going to close to the tiles or the rim. The tap nuts need to be flush and pinch the bath. And allow the taps to turn if you need to get your fingers behind them to turn.
Thank you so, so much. I am off to drill mine tap holes now🤞
Great video, well explained, many thanks it was really helpful.
Straight to the point. Thank you
I have to do that tomorrow. Thanks.

Good video - thanks - you don’t recommend pilot holes?
Need to make it clear is it 230 outer edge or centre to centre for people in case someone makes this mistake

White masking tape don't have adhesive quality????
Dont have to mask if you use dry erase markers
Is that tube porcelain?
Answer your viewer's questions
why dont you just use the rubber washer as a template instead of giving yourself all that bother
