What is the best way to remove old bathroom tiles and re-install new ones in the same space? old tiles must be removed, new tile and put in re-injected
If you are only talking about replacing a few tiles and not the entire wall, you must first remove the grout around the tile bad and score the tile thoroughly bad and break with a chisel. Once removed, clean the old glue with a scraper. Put in new tape, put in new tile and once dry, re-grout.
But how to remove the grout? Flag
Sander air drill and heavy.
Just be careful not to drill straight into the wall as the idiot who did our bathroom ...
take a hammer and smash them to the wall and redry Dryway region with good rendering of bathroom and then not with joint compound and cement tiles, just tiles and grout. obtain a tile cutter and make sure the tiles are square and where you want. tiles have enought with a few extras for mistakes. by replacing the dry wall you see if there are dry rott and can put more insulation and retain more heat is
I want to take a small chisel and hammer and break with the grout, then press the tile to crack and pry. Thoroughly clean and prepare for the new slab. Be sure to wear glasses and that the ceramic fragments.
It depends on what the old tiles are attached. If it is drywall, tear out drywall and ceramic tile in the rooms that you can easily manipulate. Use a "saws-all along the grout lines and cut through the drywall. Then put up cement board instead of tile. Use a thin layer to glue the tile plate cement.
If the tiles are made of strips of old style and plaster, use a masonry chisel and hammer to separate the tiles from the wall.
