How to Cut Tiles Around Pipes

it's likely you'll need to cut tiles to fit round obstructions such as a pipe and so as always when cutting or shaping a tile to fit measure twice and cut once first of all tile around the pipe with whole tiles now take a whole tile and use this as a guide to make pencil marks on the wall level with the top bottom and both sides of the pipe like this now transfer the marks to a whole tile using a tile marker and remember to support the tile on spaces if necessary to make sure the marks are in the right place [Music] [Music] now use a set square or another tile to join up the lines across the tile where they cross they'll form a square stand an offcut of the same pipe in the middle of the square and draw around it [Music] now cut the tile in two so that the cut passes through the middle of the circle [Music] to remove the half circles from the tile use either a tile saw or a jigsaw fitted with a tile cutting blade check the fit of the two tiles in place and make any final adjustments with a tile file now apply adhesive to the back of the tiles you should find that the join is almost invisible [Music] either grout or apply a silicon sealant between the tiles and the pipe
