Thanks 👍
I do not really understand. Why we need to remove tiles, if we are going to cut off the whole piece of sheetrock anyway? Why not cut it off with old tile?
This is the best way to remove ceramic tile backsplash without tearing the crap out of the drywall. Thanks for showing us the way. Much appreciated. Took a two day job down to about 2 hours.
Glad to help
I’m DIYing my bathroom makeover and last minute realized I needed to remove the tile. I had no idea how to do that so this was super helpful, Thank you!!
Thanks for watching . Let me know how you do.
Did you finish the DIY?
優さん not yet, it’s something I’m doing in my limited free time so it’ll take me longer than it would take most people, especially since I went on a road trip mid project lol

Use a strong putty knife and a hammer, keep the putty knife flat against the wall and tap slowly while keeping the putty knife flat as possible.
Kudos, great tip on just replacing the Sheetrock instead of repairing. Now I have decide on cost vs repair work
Glad to help
Great video. One question, I know you tried to preserve the Sheetrock but after getting the tile off, you decided the sheetrock should be replaced. Could you have simply removed the sheetrock -- with the old tile still attached -- to save yourself the trouble of lots of time chipping away at the old tile to remove it first? In other words, just remove the old tile and sheetrock together at once?
You ever remove Sheetrock? Try doing it with tile still attached…lol! That shit would suck ass big time!
U can remove tiles to make cuts on the sheetrock then remove larger pieces.
A real life video, thanks. Not just magic falling off tiles. This video is most like my experience, very slow and annoying. I just want to replace a mosaic line of tiles. (I really don’t want to replace a thin strip of Sheetrock/plasterboard)
Thanks for watching . Your right slow and annoying.
Yesss. I didn’t want to knock the whole wall out, like some other videos show. Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting!
“One...” 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for watching
Here's my tip next time your tiling, just use one small dab of ceramic adhesive in the centre of each tile, not the whole back surface as most do. The effect of gravity and the grout around the tiles is enough to hold it and its alot easier to remove when upgrading tiles again.
Thanks for watching.
Nobody thinks of the next guy.
@@scottregister3682 which is why I'm going to have a ton of fun when I change mine. I hate it. It's gray, I changed the color of every room except one.
That would break easily on impact because of empty spots under the tile, I reckon.
It all depends on the type of tile. For instance, if using a screen tile, you need to cover the entire wall with mortar.
So why can't you just take the bottom row out near the lip of the counter, score it, score the top tile edge and then bust it out if you're just going to replace the drywall? Seems like a lot of labor to remove tile you're just going to take out the wall section anyway.
He was trying to save the Sheetrock, but it didn't work out for him. He answered a similar question below.
I agree. What is the purpose of carefully removing the old tile then cutting out the drywall. That just makes no sense.
@@marylynoblenis2262 bc some ppl like to try to save the wall. But overall I think he was just showing ppl how to do it bc most ppl don’t know how to do it
Word on the street is, he is still removing the backsplash tile...
Mark Kovacs That’s hilarious 😂
Lmao too funny the clip with the look of boredom from the dog
Lol. Why not just use a dremel to cut the grout and the paddy knife to release the tile.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That tile is super sharp when broken.
Gloves are a smart move.
Good advice.
Here's a dumb question: I know the drywall was ugly after, but if it's to be covered anyway with new tile, why not just tile over it?
Second question: does hitting one tile ever cause damage to adjacent tiles? I just need to remove the top row of my backsplash and replace those 5 tiles so I want to leave all the rest intact.
You could just repair the holes but replacing the drywall will give you a nice even wall of tile. As for the top row as long as you don't touch the lower tiles you should be ok.
@@getitdonehomerepair can I just sand it down a little?
I wish my kitchen backsplash was this easy the idiots that did it used cement and the whole wall started coming up it’s a nightmare and the walls bowed so it’s gonna be fun to fix
Wow cement.OMG
Put away your power tools guys, this is the real deal for removing tile from the backsplash. I wish I had run across this video before I started to demo the tile backsplash in our bathroom. I found that a ball pean hammer seemed to do a better job than a claw hammer. I am hoping that the quartz countertop will be thick enough and the quartz backsplash extend high enough up that I won’t have to worry about fixing the drywall in two areas . Fingers crossed.
Jeffrey Pursley thanks for watching. Good luck with your project
Why not just score the wall at the top & bottom of the tile, remove a few end-piece tiles and then remove the tile + drywall together in bigger sections?
This really helped.
Your the man
Glad it was helpful!
best to get a grinder on the grout lines to break them up, then a heat gun to heat the tile adhesive underneath, then the hammer that way you wont damage the plasterboard...
Is it ok to apply the thinset for the new tiles right over the patched up drywall? Probably a dumb question, but I'm wondering if there would be adhesion issues or if another step is involved in actually putting up the tiles. Thanks for the video. Very helpful!
You can apply the thin set directly to the drywall. Thanks for your input and for watching.
I just removed some kitchen wall tiles and wow what a pain! I will get the damaged sheet rock replaced instead of trying to repair it. Thanks for the information. 👍
thanks for watching.
Just a question. If you recommend replacing the sheetrock (we call it drywall in Canada) why not just cut it out from the start versus removing the tiles first. It appears that you removed the cabinets. Is that necessary?
Good question. The cabinets were being replace with new ones. I was hoping that the drywall was going to be savable . Thanks for watching.
You can tile over that damaged drywall no problem
Thanks for watching
Thanks for posting
Thanks mang nice work 👍🤙
No problem 👍
Not gonna lie the sped up hammering gave me a nice serotonin boost.
Thanks for watching.
Hi there, thanks for posting! I have a question....How long did removing the tile take you? Just trying to get an idea if I have enough time. thanks!
If they come off without a problem about 1-2 hours but if the drywall needs to be replaced much more time.
If you are not preserving the sheetrock, Would it not be easier to just cut and remove the whole piece of sheet rock without removing tiles?
The plan was to save save the old sheet rock but unfortunately that did not happen because of the extent of damage
Why not just cut the entire backsplash out with a knife along the top of the tile. Then just replace it with hardy back? Much quicker process. And the wall is moisture resistant after.
Great job
Saved me time and money thank you 🙏🏾
Like watching paint dry...I had such high hopes :)
My ears are ringing from watching this video
This was a big help - Thanks for posting this!
Glad it helped!
Why not just cut out the drywall with tiles attached and discard versus tap tap tap ..for hours and then remove drywall anyways?
Thanks for watching.
Question. So would it just be better to just go ahead and cut off the whole backsplash, instead of trying to take off each tile. Especially if you are going to be replacing the Sheetrock anyway? I looking to buy a house soon. I also kind of passed on a house that I really loved do you the kitchen being really ugly. It also had a very thick tile all over the walls, countertops and floors.
Thanks for watching.
Hello and thank you for the video.
I had to take up my bathroom floor tiles and tiles that line the wall and the floor. In doing so, the tiles that line the floor, 2" by 6" tiles, the paper came completely off exposing the actual chalk. Will ZIn bin work . Ive been told I can just primer over the chalk .
1) Do I need to do both.
2) Can I just use a primer, what kind. I don't really trust what Ive been told because I cant see how anything will hold onto chalk. But, In seeing your vid. I believe you may have an answer.
Its just chalk along the the bottom of the floor 2" inch trim of tile that ran along the bottom of the wall.
Thank you!
Stuck,
What kind of tiles were they?
How do you insure the new drywall is level with the existing one above?
You need to run your had over the new area and sand until the same level.
Thank you!!!!
You're welcome!
Do you have to tape the joint if your back splash is going over top of it?
Personal preference. Thanks for your input and for watching.
Smart way cut the drywall out
Thanks for watching.
Omg, this is gonna take a while…..
Apparently weren’t mortared correctly since when followed all plaster came with it and sheetrock
?
I hope the homeowner is not watching you if the countertops are not being replaced also. A piece of cardboard covering the countertop would not be a bad idea.
Good point but no the entire kitchen was being replaced. Thanks for watching.
Here’s my thoughts if you’re going to replace the Sheetrock ,just cut out the Sheetrock with the tiles on it ! You save hours of time.
You removed tiles ,then Sheetrock, then replaced Sheetrock?
I was hoping that the drywall could be saved.
Lol never mind you answered my question already
Thanks for watching.
Takes too much time. I just use a multi tool to cut the sheet rock above the tile and at the counter top. Remove the sheet rock and tile at one time. Replace sheet rock, tape, texture, and paint. Ready to go.
We're the counters being replaced?
I'd be upset if I had ceramic tiles scratching my counter and were not protected with a towel or something.
Good point. Yes they were bing replaced also.
@@getitdonehomerepair Looked like it but for those not replacing to make sure you protect your countertops 👍
All that work to have to spend $15 on a sheet of drywall anyway? Just cut the edge of the tiles and rip
.
That looks like fun, but I have a life to live.
Thanks for watching
Or you could buy a multitool with the grout removal attachment and the scrapper blade.
@
But ripping the walls out un-necessarily looks like fun too.
Does this pass for skill in New York; that explains a lot.
No need to remove the tile pieces when you're going to remove the drywall any way. But great job.
I was hoping to just do some drywall repairs but that didn't work out.
She rock
Thanks for watching. I'm happy to help.
Long story short. Would it be better to cut out the sheet rock with the tile and then replace?.
I had to turn my volume down so I know he needed hearing protection...
Thanks for watching
What did you say 🦻🏿
The process takes a while but it's hard especially around the kitchen area. The dry walls got soggy and the silicon is so tough. It's a real pain so the wall had to be broken
Thanks for watching.
So what was even the point in trying not to damage the sheetrock just to replace it later?
Wondering the same thing
Right. You could have cut out the entire section at once.
Why not just cut out the sheet rock with the tile still on?
Actually I was hoping to not have to change the sheet rock but that didn't work out.
Why didn’t you just cut it out from the beginning?
I was hoping to save the wall but that didn't work out. Thanks for watching and your input.
Your dog said: You are better at tearing down the house than me.
Hahaha. Thanks for watching.
I don’t know why, but Southpark “White people flipping houses” can to mind.
Thanks for watching.
Could you cut the sheet rock with the tile in place; Instead of having to break it?
Yes but I was hoping that I could save the wall but it didn't work out.Thanks for watching.
Wouldn't it be easier to just cut out the drywall and replace it?
Glad it was helpful!
Why are you just smashing it into pieces when you have a scraper RIGHT there that you could easily and safely pry it all off with?
.
Gloves prevent your hands from.cuts. just saying.
Are you Jim the car guy?
Yes it is. I also love home projects.
@@getitdonehomerepair wow. That's awesome!
Couldn't you have just cut the dry wall out as one piece and start over
I was trying to save the wall but after seeing how bad it was i decided to just replace it. Thanks for your input and for watching.
He took the long way
I would use my angle grinder to remove the grout first
Thanks for your input.
I think you, need to watch a video!😂
.
Just cut the drywall off behind the tile… Remove the whole thing and replace new drywall, mud, and have a flat better surface… Waste of time
why remove those tiles?? they look f....g good. what a shame.
I didn't have a choice. The cabinets and the counter top was being changed. Thank for watching.
Why the F... di you just not cut out the drywall off in the first place???
.
Hahahaha One !
Thanks for watching.
Wow you spending way too much time hammering tiles 🙄. Best tool to use is a old wood chisel and just get behind the tiles and pound away them they crumble and came off a lot easier than what your doing. Your going to have damage to the sheet rock no getting around it. I just use the chisel. And labor intensive! Either way it’s time and money. If your just retiling over it just repair/smooth it out with sparkle and retile it, I did it no problems! Why make more work for yourself.
Just my opinion
Thanks for the view
