Hi guys, am new to this froumn and am in need of some advice.

Basically i am a plumber. I have just taken on a bathroom job. Not tiling, but, removing tiles. Now i tell you what, i have never come across tiles that won't come off the wall.

Basically, i have tried every chisel possible. Even a tile remover in my hilti, and the tiles won't come off. They just fall apart into little pieces. Well just the surface of the tile at the front. The rest stays stuck to the render.

I honestly don't know what this guy stuck his tiles on with. They are not coming off. And it is just breaking all the render off the wall when i do eventually get some of the tiles off. It literally is taking 5 mins a tile. And they are 3 by 3 inch. And, i have a whole bathroom to do.

Has anyone on here got any secrets tricks to get the tiles off?

Any advice would be much apreciated.

Regards

Mutley
