Thankyou to all who have been so kind to both welcome me and give advice.I will drill and secure both the pan and cistern,but another question if you please.
I will definatly not be taking on a project again,would i be able just to use a masonary bit to achieve the holes i need?
Thanks again

try and use a scribe to break the glaze first then drill very slowly with your smallest drill piece not on the hammer setting as a pilot! it may take a few mins but it should go through,then use your 8/10 drill bit depending on what size it is?

You'll need a diamond tipped drill bit for porcelain or tungsten carbide tipped with a constant water feed, then make sure you drill fairly slowly, and don't aplly too much pressure, let the tools do the work, and keep the drill bit wet. A masonry bit will just go blunt immediately and probably skate across the tile.

You will be lucky to drill Porcelain tiles with a standard masonry bit..?

Fixings and holes are there for a reason...as are tile drillbits. Wouldn't advise it myself.
