You can get a special drill:
First I put masking tape on tile and then mark where I want hole to be. I then put drill on slow rotation and introduce the masonry bit to the marked area. Gently drill the hole and then enlarge to required size.
Never had a tile shatter on me. YET !
Ditto - but do make sure you use a sharp (i.e. new) bit. My box of bits contains plenty of old blunt ones (cos like us all, I don't tend to chuck things out...)
Thanks Martin that worked a treat.
Use a drill bit like this
Drill the tile without hammer until the bit goes through the tile. Use a plug like these
