I would like to drill through tile in the shower. Do I have the right product?

Yes. This would drill though ceramic shower tile, but be sure to read some tips on this procedure (in a Google search) before going through with it. I used them to drill into concrete steps and they worked well for that - they are very tough bits.

Actually, I think this is not what you want. Tile drill bits are shaped quite differently and are designed to minimize cracking the tile or the tile glazing. Suggest you check out tile bits or at least try a masonry bit on a piece of similar tile you don't care about.

Yes but you may want to use a smaller blade if you and a clamp for the tile

Sure, Jennifer, but why would u want to drill holes in your shower?? I have purchased three of these dispensers. They are mounted with a silicone adhesive so I remove them from the wall pretty easily. The silicone just peels off of the wall. I have done this on a tile shower, a plastic/fiberglass surround, & a cultured marble shower with no marks left. If you drill into the wall, you also risk water getting into the wall and causing problems.

I don't see why not, find a drill bit that goes through tile, make sure you find the stud behind the tile first, drill a pilot hole first and then you would screw into the stud for maximum hold. If you have other tile I would practice first with the bit to make sure it would not crack or split. This is a chance you would take. I, myself would find another place for it because you never know how the tile will react when you start drilling and screwing on it.

The Bosch tool cut trough grout just as shown on the ad video making it possible to remove most tiles without breaking. I purchased a different brand cutting disk that worked/fit the Bosch tool without an adapter at Lowes.

I think it should be alright I have used it on the fiberglass shower floor. You can also put less pressure on the drill. Hope it works for you. Marian

Hello Diane, Yes, this tool would be great for the job you described. It even comes with a tile cutting blade. Hope that helps!

If you have bathroom floor tile it should work. It did wonders for the tile in my shower. Maybe order just one package and see how it works for you.

I can't say for sure because all my floors are wood. But I can tell you that you will need to drill into your tile to install plastic anchors for the screws to fasten into. Drilling tile can be tricky - it's all about having a sharp (i.e. - new) masonry drill bit, and a drill motor or screw gun that can put out some high RPMs. Most guns will do that. Mine has a setting for driving screws (low speed more torque) and a setting for drilling (high speed and less torque). If you've got a good bit and decent drill motor you should be fine. The product itself is easy to install once the holes are drilled and it works great. Good luck! I can't say for sure because all my floors are wood.

B. Felix... it is straightforward, but requires the tools and techniques. Here is the expert advice I used to attach my magnetic bamboo knife strip through my tile. Enjoy! http://homeguides.sfgate.com/put screws-ceramic-tile-23660.html

I think 1/8 " drill bit is big enough. Important is to spray paint the part to the wall AND the shower curtain rod with rustoleum. In about 1 yr the humidity will build up AND you will see drops.

I do not see why it could not be if your shower tile has grout then it should work just fine there too. I have not tried it there so if you want to know for sure I would contact the maker.

I just used a box cutter. You can score the tile and then snap it pretty easily.

i have the small 1" tiles on my bathroom floor as its an older house & i havent redone the baths yet and it works great on them as i cant work on my knees any more. so i would think it would work great on your shower floor.

I installed ours on finished tile. It's a bit of a pain to drill into but I believe that's what Toto recommended

I can't see why not. Just ask your hardware store guy for screws to go through tile. The screws that are supplied with hoop rod are for drywall.
