Removing Old Tiles From Bathroom Wall

I sadly made this same mistake redoing my bathroom and had to spend an all nighter removing old drywall and putting up cement backer board.

Removing old tiles from bathroom wall.

And i don t care what any one says demo sucks. The only way the old tile was coming out of my bathroom was with a sledge hammer. Chip away the rounded bullnose tiles from the edge and top of a shower with a hammer and chisel. Next use a chisel and hammer to pry the tiles off of the wall.

So in this video i will show you the part 1 where i removed the bathroom tiles. If you don t find a loose one no problem you ll have to break one. Step 4 pry the tile away from the wall gently using the putty knife or plaster spatula. If you do find a loose one prize it out with the chisel.

Removing tiles is a job that you can. To remove wall tiles start by heating up the grout between the tiles with a blow dryer so it s easier to remove. Pry the piece of tile up gently and slowly until it separates from the wall with ease. Your demo was so neat and tamed.

Cut through the drywall along the edge of the tiles with a utility knife. I hope you will follow me through the proc. Again do not pry away aggressively to prevent damage to the plaster. Then use a utility knife or rotary grinder to scrape away the grout until the spacer lugs between the tiles are visible.

This should shatter the tile and you ll then be able to remove the individual pieces. Place a pry bar against this line and lever away large sections of the wall. Messy back breaking work. Our shower room needs revamping.

7 remove each tile in turn working. Work the putty knife or plaster spatula in and out behind the tile in a cutting like motion around each side of the tile to loosen it from the wall. The tile should pop away from the wall.
