whoever did the original tile job was a real expert. I have removed tile before and it came up a lot easier. 🙂

[suzannta]

Oh my Gosh, just super genius to do it this way. I need to take 6meters of tile off and you just showed me how! Tank you so much from Mexico

[claudiaabadia]

YOU are being so gentle, not trying to break the tile… amazing. I have travertine and want to remove it., .

if you apply heat with a method such as an iron, torch, or boiled water, the ceramic will expand and release the cement underneath more easily.

Thank you, that was great, but I do I clean the back side of the tile from the old "tile- cement"? Thank you.

best video out there for removing tile thanks

[busanincube]

Today lm going to remove some tiles thank you so much for the idea

[MovieMakingMan]

Thanks for the demonstration! But did you destroy the two adjacent tiles to be able get to the one you removed? And now that you have two fewer tiles how will you fill that space? I wish there was a liquid solution that would dissolve the grout.

[julrob]

What about getting a full tile from cement board?

[danfay]

Good technique if you want to save the old tile

[EpicKook]

So how do you remove the first tile without breaking it?

[elijahkelley]

Angle grinder works really well if not faster. But I had to test this first. Thanks.

[AgainHereIgo]

Thanks, it's nice to get ideas that just work!!

[CarCrazyGhost]

So the blade on the angle grinder was a grout blade?

[shahars.]

nice, but in this case you have two adjacent tiles which have been already removed. how can you remove the first tile without breaking it ?

[iliaannai]

Oh Lord, thank you so much. I will try this and hope to be successful

[jtoker]

Now how do you go about getting the mortar off the bottom of the removed tile piece? I'm about to do this and want to reuse them if I need to, though I may not.

[Sonnylintag]

I need to do this! I had a bad replacement of tiles done that don’t match in the kitchen and other half bathroom. I am planning a full remodel in the main bathroom and wanted to use the tiles to replace the non-matching ones in the other room. Does this same technique work on tile over concrete?

[trisa]

I wonder if torching them would be helpful

[ivormac]

A good job, well done.
Reading the comments, it would look as though some people just do not have the patience to do this kind of work.
Which brand of blade did you use to remove the grouting?
