hi and welcome, depends on what job you are doing as to what tool you require

I dont have a fein but have heard loads of good reports about them. If i actually pcik one up an play with it, ill buy one cos im a sucker for tools! I have too many already and that why i have resusted actually going to look at one!

As for removing th etiles, i use either hammer and chisel or SDS with 50mm flat chisel bit. There are cranked tile removing chisels araound but IMO they put too much strain on the chuck for my liking.

If the tiles are tough to get off, the board may need changing.

Maybe concider just replacing the the boards as an easier option

 

[doug boardley]

ok helpsy, they're not gonna come off cleanly and leave the plasterboard intact then. Best to (imo) take the outer tiles off, saw through the plasterboard ( you can use your fein for this) then manually pull the boards off, obviously making sure no existing potware will get damaged.:hurray:

90% of my bathroom refits are reboarded, easier in the long run. You only gotta put one hole through the board its its a gonner.

Only cheap £2.99 a box 150x150 wickes budget tiles!!!
It's just a makeover in existing shower cubicle.
It's about 7sqm(how long would this take a pro to redo?)
