Hello,

I'm about to tile the bathroom floor. The only thing is, I'm not sure
how to cut to allow the radiator pipes through. They are 15mm pipes
and I've only ever seen tile drill bits up to 10mm, so I can't use one
of those to cut a hole. Do I need to hire a core drill?

Thanks.

Normally what is done is to cut a slot out of the tile, trim the edge,
and put the cutout bit back in behind the pipe.

Even if you can find a 20mm* diamond cutter, you still have to take the
radiator completely out to fit it..

*you need SOME slack round that pipe!
