Removing Ceramic tiles

purerandom · 2009-08-13 14:47:08

hi, I have to remove a couple of ceramic tiles beside a sink and bath. the entire shower wall is also tiled in ceramic. The walls are not block walls, they are plasterboard Is it safe to just chisel away at them? They will be dumped aferward so as long as i keep the wall in-tact i am happy. What do you guys think?

Yeah a mallet and bolster chisel will get them off, very gently. If you do damage the plasterboard underneath its no big deal, quite cheap and very easy to instal. If you are, put green moisture resistant plasterboard behind the shower
