Its taken me a whole year to find taps I like and a basin I like. Problem is, the basin comes with one tap hole and the taps are 3-piece. Will the bathroom fitter be able to drill holes? I'd ask him but I feel a nelly....

Hi.... some ceramic basins have 'semi-punched' tapholes ....possibly a feature of your favourite...if not, back to the drawing board.;)

tiles are ceramic and you can drill them even when dry, so it may be possible to drill a ceramic basin, especially if using a wet drill. I would get a second opinion from a few ceramic companies0
