Answer 1

If they are truly "wall tiles" it will be quite simple. If you need a small circle use a diamond tip "hole saw" blade available at any quality hardware or home center for a standard drill. If the circle needs to be larger than about 1 1/2-2 inches there are two fairly good methods. 1) if you are skilled with power tols you can use an angle grinder with a diamond blade mark your circle out and grind your way to success! 2) (and this is the best recommendation we cna make for the average person) You can use a rotary tool "rotozip" type tool with a diamond blade. again mark off your circle and have a steady hand and it will be just fine! As a very last resort if you do not feel comfortable doing it yourself if you check your local listings you may find companies that do laser or water jet cutting. (another method of finding these companies may be find your local tile wholesale distributor and ask them who does it. they can cut ANY shape or size in a snap! Good Luck!

Best thing to try to do is to use a carbide bit and drill into the grout lines between the tiles. Insert your anchors there. If placement is such that you cannot drill into a grout line, take a nail and tap it with a hammer lightly on the face of a tile just enough to make a small chip on the glazed face of the tile. Use this mark as a start for the carbide bit to prevent the drill bit from wandering over the face of the tile. Do not press to hard on the drill; let the bit do the work. A slower speed works best. Once you cut through the glaze on the face the bit will go through the rest of the tile easily and quickly. Wall tile is quite soft.

Answer 3

you can do it yourself.using a tile or glass cutting tool,draw the size you want on the tile. with the cutting tool,go around the pattern several times,making an indentation in the tile.then turn it over and do the same thing on the bottom side. tap gently around the tile,with a small tool(hammer) the edges will come off and you will have the shape and size you want. just be patient and don't force it to break.

Answer 4

Your asking a lot here, and "hurry" ?

I don't know of any easy way, you can try with a tile saw (power) and take your time, many cuts and then grind them, for a few it might work.
