### Tiles Are Expensive to Replace
One wrong move drilling bathroom tiles and you've cracked a £30 tile. Then you need to replace it, match the grout, and it never quite looks right. **Professional fitting means your accessories go up without drama** - first time, no cracks, no wobbles.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Cheap drill bits are the main reason DIYers crack tiles. Proper tile bits cost more but save you a fortune in broken tiles.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Getting bathroom redecorated?** Fit accessories AFTER tiling and painting. Trying to work around them is annoying, and you might want them in different positions anyway. **Multiple rooms?** If you're fitting accessories in ensuite, main bathroom, and downstairs loo, do them all together. More efficient than three separate callouts. **Period bathrooms?** Exeter's older houses often have lovely vintage tiles. Extra care needed, but they usually drill fine if done properly.
Frequently Asked Questions about Bathroom accessory fitting in Ottery St Mary
Can you drill tiles without cracking them?
Yes - with the right drill bits, technique, and patience. Tile drilling is one of those things that looks easy but goes wrong quickly if you rush it. I've drilled thousands of tiles in Ottery St Mary bathrooms - know what I'm doing.
What accessories can you fit?
Towel rails, toilet roll holders, soap dishes, toothbrush holders, robe hooks, grab rails - anything that fixes to bathroom walls. Simple stuff, but needs doing properly so it doesn't fall off or crack your expensive tiles.
Do I need to buy the accessories first?
Yes - you choose what you want (style, finish, size), I'll fit it. Makes sense because you'll be looking at it every day, should be stuff you actually like. Just check it comes with fixings.
How long does it take?
Half hour to 45 minutes usually for a few accessories - toilet roll holder, towel rail, couple of hooks. Drilling tiles can't be rushed, but it's not a long job. Often done as part of a bigger bathroom refresh.
What if the tiles are old or delicate?
Extra care needed, but usually fine. Old glazed tiles can be more brittle than modern ones, so I'll go even more carefully. If tiles are cracked already or very loose, that's a different problem that needs addressing first.
