My husband HATES DIY with a passion. If I want anything done in our house I have to do it myself. I've watched so many of your videos and now I'm plumbing and tiling a utility room. NEVER done anything like this before. Now I've levelled the floor, installed underfloor heating, levelled again, and tiled all but the tricky ones. I'm tiling around radiator pipes today. Your videos have made SUCH a difference ... so here's a super thanks (below), go buy yourself a beer on me. Gilly x (p.s. super thanks comment disappeared - hope you got it)

Thank you for doing all the videos you do. I'm doing a plumbing course later in the year and your videos are the best to learn from. 👍

Thanks mate. Glad to help!

Great job! I have drilled tons of pilot holes for toilet flanges where slight chips and imperfections don’t matter as much since they are under the toilet. I’m going to give this a trial before I move the shower head location from the Sheetrock ceiling to the tile wall.

I've just gone back to college at 35 to learn plumbing and your vids have seriously pushed me along. Heart felt thanks. Also what happens to the pipework behind?

Good video, and if the diamonds become clogged and dull you can freshen them up by drilling into an old brick🧱 . Learnt that one from skillbuilder 😆

Good call mate.

I saw a video of someone putting a little water inside the wood template. I put a wet sponge inside the bit and a little water inside the wood template, worked like a charm!

That is such a fab idea! The template idea is priceless. Hold tight!👍👍

Thanx for supporting us. God bless you 🙏 (A Sri Lankan)

Love the wooden guide! Saw some dudes putting a disk of wet sponge inside the drill to save on dipping

Uzi 1600 Me too. I’ve saved so much money from learning how to do things from invaluable sources of information like this video. It’s a shame not everyone appreciates them. All they do is criticise. These guide videos have helped given me the confidence to take on so many jobs myself and do them to a high standard. Thanks plumberparts.

Hi James, love your work. One thing I can’t get my head round is how to make it water tight after you’ve drilled? It seems we go overkill now using waterproof backing boards, then tanking and sealing the joints and fixings, only to drill dirty great holes through it all. Am I not understanding something? (Probably!)

May God bless you and your friend for your charity work

great peace off work

I love what you are doing

My diamond corer has drill bits similar to holeset bits.

Thank you for this video... I really appreciate it .. but I have a question please .. how do you mark the spot on the tile with the pipe?

Hi Guys, I hope you enjoy this quick video! If you can donate to the Foundation of Goodness I'd be stoked!

Hi just wondering what pencil you are using? Can't see it listed in your amazon store. Cheers

Nice one

Excellent video! 👏 Congratulations. Where is the hole cutting tool? I couldn't see it.

Guess who just earned a subscriber. That’s right you did. Way keep it entertaining. You sound like me working on stuff by myself 😂

There's one more way to keep the holesaw steady. There are similar types of tile hole saws to the wooden ones. They have a guide drill bit in the center.

great...thanks...

How would you make a 4 inch hole in tile for extractor fan?

Paul Hamilton Good call! Screwfix have one from Erbauer that gets good reviews. It’s £15 and surely will pay for itself on first use, when compared against damaging a tile or yourself!

I am trying to decide whether to do the tiling or not so the plumber can finish the shower. Whether I got with a tiler or do it myself, now I know how it is done - thanks.

People wrap their powertools and batteries in different coloured tape incase they are working on a site or with other people so they dont get mixed up or even worse stolen.

Once u get it started its easier to have a water spray bottle handy that way u dont have to keep stopping to dip bit in water. U just keep spraying water on it as ur drilling

use double sided tape to hold the wood in place, makes it a lot easier.

I have a great suggestion based on years of experience. Whenever marking up anything on a surface you need to keep in good nick use 2 inch mask tape to pencil onto and when done just pull off the tape leaving no marks what so ever.

Dude need your pearls of wisdom before I destroy porcelain tiles, to reduce the chance of a break or chip at the back of the tiles using a wetsaw its said to flip the tile and notch it 1inch for small tiles and 2 inches for larger tiles, flip the tile back over and cut as normal and hopefully cut with no issues, or is the problem the blade, I bought a cheapo wet tile cutter do you think the blade that came with is prob not that good I have seen cutting disks that cost more than I paid for this el cheapo. thoughts pls buddy or anyone thanks in advance Paul.

Exactly!

Why not stub out a nipple and let the tile setter cut around it?

Tiles vary in density from standard ceramic through to porcelain. It takes considerably longer to drill through porcelain and the wear and tear on those hole cutters and drill bits, even when you take your time and regularly cool then off, is.... expensive. Same goes for actually cutting and shaping the tiles when you "whap em" on the walls/floor. Imagine how many holes you have to drill to fit a bathroom? Toilet pan and cistern, basin bolts, bath/shower screen, mirrors, loo roll holder, tooth brush holder, towel ladder/rad, towel ring etc etc..ad infinitum..... I hate porcs!!!!!

@Barrie Fayers I've made that mistake before and now I make it explicitly clear in the quote. The right to surcharge for porcelain tiles. It's not just drilling and fixing to the tiles but cutting "L" shapes, notches and so forth. Try scoring and snapping a thin slither off a 10mm thick x 500mm long porc! I have used a big clinker tiling jig for the last 7 or 8 years and 90% of the time it has served me well, but on porcs...forget it!

Let's do it roughly in the middle using a tape measure to the nearest billionth of a mm...
