There is actually a special bit for drilling tiles you should be able to pick it up in any hardware store.

If you've only a couple of holes to drill, a normal masonry bit, some care and some patience will see you through!

Go on to ebay and buy some diamond core drills from Hong Kong.
Cost about a tenner delivered and thats less than one carbide bit from a local hardware store.
I have been down this road many times and wasted a load of cash on those stupid carbide bits until I got those diamond bits I wasn't going to drill any more holes in porcelain tiles.
