Part removal of tiles

[tiler37345]

Customer has had new bathroom suite installed but plumber damaged tiles around bath, sink, toilet. The customer wants tiles removing from half way up wall to bottom and re-tile.

How do I remove these tiles without damaging the existing tiles which are staying??

Hello and welcome to the forum.


You should remove all the grout from beneath the row of tiles that are staying on the walls, remove some from the edges as well, use a grout rake if you do not have a fein.
Start at the bottom and carefully remove a tile, then use a chisel to get behind the tiles and lever them off. If the tiles are on plasterboard then its likely that you will cause damage to the walls, there is not a lot you can do about that.
Explain to the customer what might happen and that you may have to re-board with new plasterboard. If you do make sure that you get your levels right so that the new and old tiles line up.
