What do you use to remove old tiles?

[GazTech]

When reboarding would you do it on top of the old one ? from the picture it doesn't look like a smooth surface. Obviously i think its better to reboard from new, would it be plasterboard or backerboard ?

All new builds since 2004 in USA,have used backerboard.Plasterboard is a thing of the past.Technology has finally won over,if Gyproc want to cry about it,then they should have developed backerboards!!!!!

Just to update, incase anyone cares, I filled the holes with rapid set. I built it up in payers adn it's a nice flat finish and all very sturdy now!

Cheers for the advice.

you can also patch up by using a small piece of plasterboad if the holes that big, attach a string line through the middle so you can pull it tight over the hole while you plaster

The Force eh? Why didn't I learn that on my 4 week course? :wink_smile:

Don't feel bad Gaz,you can't learn these skills on any tiling course that I know of.I was just lucky that a Jedi Master was walking down the High Street in Grantham one day and he bumped into me at woolies,I was buying the new Cliff Richard Calender and he was buying a new Lightsaber as he lost his in a ruck with a bunch of Storm Troopers down the Nags Head the night before.
Anyway to cut a long story short we got chatting at the Pick and Mix and he said he was looking for a new Padowan Learner(Jedi Apprentice).I volunteered,5 years latter I'm a fully fledged Jedi Knight,Lightsaber an all.
Another 5 years later I got a bit bored of the Integallactic Rebellion so left the Jedi and enrolled on a tiling course at NETT.
The rest is history.Although..............

'The Force will be with you!....Always!:wink_smile:
