    whoever did the original tile job was a real expert. I have removed tile before and it came up a lot easier. 🙂

    if you apply heat with a method such as an iron, torch, or boiled water, the ceramic will expand and release the cement underneath more easily.

      MRED Most likely you would be removing the tiles starting from a threshold of two materials. Start there.

    Thanks for the demonstration! But did you destroy the two adjacent tiles to be able get to the one you removed? And now that you have two fewer tiles how will you fill that space? I wish there was a liquid solution that would dissolve the grout.

      I needed a time that broke in an easy to see area.
      I am going to go into a closet or under the stove or fridge to try to get the tile out.
      If I have to put a different tile in the closet, under the stove or fridge this will be a good option

    • @TheRmartin2009
      @TheRmartin2009  4 роки тому +1

      Shahar S. You’ll most likely be starting at an edge, a threshold between two materials. That one will just take some patience. While this method doesn’t work 100% of the time you have a good chance of being successful if you take some time.

    I need to do this! I had a bad replacement of tiles done that don’t match in the kitchen and other half bathroom. I am planning a full remodel in the main bathroom and wanted to use the tiles to replace the non-matching ones in the other room. Does this same technique work on tile over concrete?

    • @TheRmartin2009

      If you fully submerge the tile in water it will soften and loosen the adhesive on back of tile.

    Which brand of blade did you use to remove the grouting?

    @ekaram63 2 роки тому +2

    Your mul tie tool is too slow unless only removing one tile. A grinder with masonary blade is best. As for bashing the putty knife with a hammer? ? That's a sure way of breaking it. Try a rubber mallet. Anyway i was expecting a more efficient approach to this problem.
