Anton Redman Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 They normally have a thinner circular area through which you can drill a number of holes then file out the size you need. Failing that you can buy trappaning saws with ceramic bits to cut the hole you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyn_Paul Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I think the expectation is that the plumbing is buried in, and the tap comes out of, the wall above the sink when it's in situ. Can you not do this?p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceni Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 ajThe wording of yr ? suggests that you are a 2 tap person. If so why not buy a mixer instead of shattering the sink ?Johnnot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derf Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Michael is correct, it's looks daunting but use a ball pein hammer and all will be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a mixer we've got fit so I think we are going to have to take the plunge and make the hole.......at the moment just trying to persuade the other half!!!aj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
