Push rawl plugs deeper than the tile so that the weight is not on the tile (as mentioned above by Paul)

For things like bolts, loo-pans, sinks, in fact anything heavy duty
at sizes 10mm 12mm 14mm then open a hole as wide as you can in the tile

Above: Here we have used a 30MM CORE DRILL to open up a hole for a
14mm bolt.

This picture shows it in more detail

Remember by taking plugs out of tiles that there is clearance for your bolts, and you do get some degree of error correction by movement. Of course the fitting will
conceal the final hole size (just dont go too big !! )
