I have a shower that was tiled in cheap white ceramic 6x6 tiles. I would
like to replace them. I consider myself an intermediate do-it-yourselfer,
but I don't know if I should take this on. I have done tile work before,
including removal, and been very pleased with the results. I guess my
concern is that if there is something more than removing the grout,
carefully removing the tiles, cleaning the surface of old grout/thin set
and then retiling, that I may get into trouble. For example, I wasn't
around when the house was built (1995 in TX) so I don't know if there's
hardibacker underneath or what I'm working with.

Any advice?

give it a try.

if it all goes well and there's no damage underneath the tiles, your biggest
problem is leveling off the old thinset. you can do this with various types
of grinders/sanders. it'll be very dusty, plan accordingly.

if it doesn't go well, then you're part way done with the demo work.
