Bathroom tile? ? ?
 

We are thinking of replacing the wall-tile in our bathroom. As a general
rule, is it much of a problem to take off the old tile?

That would depend on whether it is a glue up on wallboard or a mesh and mud
installation. If you are not sure what the difference is, on a glue up the
tile stands the tile thickness off the wall where a mesh and mud install
sits out a half inch or so....good luck, Ross

No general rules for tile in the bathroom. All depends on the original
installation.
Prepare for a war and maybe you will get lucky. I always seem to have to
replace the drywall before I am done.
