Is it any easier to remove new tiles rather than old ones? My tiles have been up a few weeks. I'm guessing the adhesive would have reached full strength within a week?

I've used the super flexible Mapei adhesive and the tiles are 10mm ceramic. The walls were skimmed plasterboard, some with paint. Removing the previous tiles put holes in the walls in a few places, but most of it wasn't too bad and some bits were patched with plaster.

I have a new bath and units etc. so I obviously don't want tiles dropping on them.

I've put some tiles up but I want different ones now.
