Amazing, and an excellent tip to remove tiles when not surrounded by other tiles around it… thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks for the kind words and support Zurgit - much appreciated 😊👍🏼
@@makeitwork-propertydiy10 I was hesitant to take tiles off that had been up over 17 years.. I went ahead after watching this….. wow…. Easy work… not much mess… everything was off in an hour… that’s clearing up into rubble bags and out the kitchen…. Totally impressed.
Thanks again 🙏🏼
Excellent news Zurgit - really glad that it helped. Thank you so much for taking the time to update and for the kind words - really appreciate it. All the best 😊👍🏼
Came back to say followed these techniques when removing tiles and it was a breeze. Thanks!
Hello Vanessa, thank you for the kind words - really appreciate it. Really glad it worked for you. All the best 😊
If you get paid by the hour, this is a great method. If you get paid by the job you just need to rag them off with a SDS with wide chisel attachment. Also I put a sheet of quarter ply on top of the bath not a few dust sheets. Good luck with the bathroom it was looking great.
Thanks for the comment Dave. Use a lump hammer if you like - what ever best suits your situation 👍🏼
And if you need to save YOURSELF some money and not buy new tiles or re-do the entire bathroom, this method is probably the best I've seen until now. I am just scared other tiles might start falling. I have to replace two pipes and need to remove just two rows of tiles, i don't want to re-do the entire bathroom. I might go get one of the cheaper oscillating multitools and try this method. Hopefully I won't break the entire wall.. :D
Thanks for the positive comment and kind words of support Tsetso - really appreciate it. I’m not sure if it helps, but I’ve used this method as seen in the video and previously to take off some smaller sections 4-6 tiles in square/rectangle shape without effecting the rest of the tiles on the wall (for access to plumbing - I didn’t think to film it sorry). I’ve found that if you take your time, and really make sure that you remove all of the grout around only the tiles that you want to remove, using the grout removal tool first, when you use the scraper blade it has little to no effect on surrounding tiles with remaining grout. Where you can it’s worth supporting the adjacent tile with your hand. If I’m honest, I’ve never removed a full single or double row. As with any method there’s always a risk that some other tiles could come off in the process. If you really need to get access to the pipes, it might be worth a try. 👍🏼
Looks like a good method - how did you remove the remaining adhesive to get back to a wall ready to be re-tiled? Cheers.
Hello, good question. I simply used the same scraper blade and ran it across the remaining adhesive. If you look at the clip @ 2:30 minutes ish you can see an example. I didn’t feature this in the video - sorry. Takes the wall back enough to re-tile. Hope this helps 😊👍🏼
@@makeitwork-propertydiy10Ah I see, thanks!
What electric tool are you using?
Hello, it's a Dewalt 'Multi-tool' (other makes are available) with grout remover and scraper blade. A link is provided in the description below the video to all of the equipment used in the video. I hope that this helps - all the best
Hi is that a plaster board mate?
Hello Tony, the tiles went on sometime after being plastered. A few sections of the wall needed to be boarded first, but mostly just new plaster on existing walls, then tiled. Then, tiles had to come back off again. Hope this helps 👍🏼
Hard board floor and ply over bath, then go nuts.
I appreciate your diligence and professionalism though, but I’d have that done in 1 hour max.
.
yea looks easy but how long have the tiles accually been on, grout looks pretty soft it takes a long time for grout too really dry
Thanks Neil. I’ll refer you to the other comments posted on here by other people that have used the method (some of their tiles have been on for years). That should answer your question 👍🏼
