1. Mark back of the glass tile where you plan to drill a hole. Place the tile on a scrap piece of MDF board with the backside facing up. Align the drill bit with the reference mark and drill a small pilot hole.Flip the tile over.. Take a ball of plumber's putty and knead it into a 1/2-inch-diameter, 10-inch long roll. Join the ends of the putty to make a circle and place it around the area where you will be drilling. Press the circle of putty onto the tile to form a seal. This acts as a temporary dam to hold water while you are drilling.
Instructions. Find the studs in the wall. Stud finders will not penetrate through tile. Either try to find a stud above the tile where you have drywall or drill small exploratory holes in the tile at an angle and use a thin wire to detect studs. Once you find your studs, mark them with a pencil. Be careful not to drill into wires and pipes. Hold your grab bar against the wall and center the screw holes over studs. Use a level to make sure the grab bar is at equal heights on both sides. Mark the screw holes with a pencil. Drill the holes out that you marked earlier for the screws with tile/glass bits.
