Tiling Question

Guys, re-tiling splash back in kitchen and struggling to find a tdy solution for tiling around/behind a double socket. It falls in the middle of a tile (300m x 300m) so I was hoping to find a way of cutting a socket sized hole in the middle?

Any advice would be greatly recieved...

    Try drilling a hole in all four corners where you want to cut out for the plug, and then use a tile cutting saw blade, which is rounded and cut from hole to hole.Should make a tidy enough job for you

    Many thanks

    Am I ok just to drill or do i need to tape the tile to minimise the risk of cracking it?
