Old Tiles
Can anyone suggest a method of removing old tiles without destroying the wall behind? My kitchen has these pretend mosaic tiles that are actually about 8 inches square and about 8mm thick.
I've made a start but, so far, my efforts have resulted in one rather large hole in the plaster and one dead tile drill-bit! Last edited by CluelessBOB : February 1st 06 at 04:51 PM |

Rake the grout out around them and try steaming them off with a wallpaper steamer? -- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite |
