Dude, acrylic is a fancy was of saying ';PLASTIC';. Drill it!!!!


Why drill into your new bathtub anyway??


If its for something like a soap dish, I recommend using a suction-cup one.Please can any one tell me how to drill tap holes for new acrylic bath tub?
You need to get a hole saw kit that fits on a electric drill ..picture below..but once you find out what size a hole you need..you can buy these individually..no need to buy a whole kit..and for a 1 time job you need only a cheap one.. It should cost you no more than 5.00 to do so... If the hole is small enough..depending on the faucet you can buy a simple butterly bit..of the right size..which i will show a picture of here too ..both are available at any home depot..lowes..walmart etc..on this link see the 3 bits on the lower left hand corner of this picture? actually the 4th 5th and 6th ones from the bottom left...You can buy one of these for a couple dollars..get the right size..and drill right thru fiberglass very easy

like 1'; -1 1/2 '; holes for a fawcet? regular hole saw with bit guide. go slow. good luck
Don't mess about with hole saws they give an unpredictable cut and could make a real mess of your new bath tub, get a step drill for nice clean holes, one of these will give you a choice of about 12 sizes all on the one drill and are perfect for acrylic. Try a good tool store.
Hole saw kit from diy store or plumbers merchants, don't get the cheap ones that are a part circle, you want a full hole saw, measure the taps twice and then check them, once cut, no return!
I suggest you do not use an electric drill driven cutter of whatever type if you are not used to doing it. One snag and you'll get a split or scratches and need a new bath - again!


Put the cutter/drill in a hand drill and take it steady.

you need a hole saw kit and a template for your taps
try a hole drill fairly easy but take your time good luck john
