Many thanks to everyone who helped.Â* In the end, the advice to use a
diamond-tipped core drill,Â* start the hole at an angle to break through
the glaze in one spot, and then slowly bring the drill upright was
invaluable: doing it that way I had hardly any slipping and none at all
outside the area to be concealed by the bracket covers.

With a bit of fiddling of the final position I was able to secure each
of the brackets with three screws into timber and only two into wall
plugs: the result feels to me to be very secure indeed.

So thanks again.

Well done m8.
