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...

    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.
