I have done this. The floor drain for a toilet is round making it difficult to cut, but a professional tiler can cut a curve or circle into a tile using a tile saw and grinder.
- Mark the tiles circle or curve.
- Cut straight notches into the tile about a 1/4 inch apart to the part that doesn't go on the floor.
- Use a grinder with a diamond blade to smooth out the circle. This may take a few settings.
- Then set the tile.
