On the assumption that under the tiles there is some depth of a concrete or mortar bed onto which the tiles are bedded, then one option is to attach extension plates to the existing bases which would overlap onto the tiles to enable fixing holes in the tiles. Core drills will cut through the tiles and it is possible to get quite small diameter ones. To drill without a pilot drill is simple using a wooden template with a hole matching the core drill.
