whats the best way to remove kitchen tiles from the wall?

Answer 1

depends on what you want to do with the wall afterwards.
the quickest way to remove my bathroom tiles was to remove the wall and replace it...
if you want to take them slowly, get something flat like a strong paint scraper and edge under them popping them off.
use a drop sheet to collect them all if you can... less damage to everything else and cleaner etc etc
have fun!

Answer 2

Only one way I know of to remove old tiles. Hammer the first one and use your hammer and chisel to get underneath the rest. Once all tiles are removed, you want to try and chisel off the remaining big spots of glue or cement and then sand your wall to a flat surface

Answer 3

Most of the previous answers would work but you would probably have to re-plaster the wall. The easiest thing to do if the existing tiles are sound, is just to tile over them, it works very well as long as the walls were well tiled originally.

Answer 4

Here's a few options for you darling ...

Use your head ... that's what I felt like doing after our conversation today ... (I don't mean I would have used your head by the way) ...

Maybe you could just treat them the way you treated me ... it won't be long before they crack up then you can manipulate them off the wall quite easily ...

Or .... just demand that they come off the wall ...... if they don't, you could try and make life as difficult as possible untill they have enough and disappear out of your life all together ....

Answer 5

there's no such thing as a best way ..every kitchen is different ..or lets put it this way ..in over forty years i have never found two the same ! ..they wont soak off ..hammer and a wide flat bolster chisel is best....if there is one!

Answer 6

Hammer and crow bar. You're gonna have to demo and replace the drywall as well, so there's no sense trying to be nice about it.

Answer 7

you'll need a tile cutter, though damaging the mesh-like material underneath you have to replace whats under it as well.
