Hi,
I was hoping to tile the bathroom. I removed the old tiles with a bolster chisel and club hammer (with ear and eye protection). However, the grout was smeared on quite thickly and has left an uneven surface. I have tried to chisel it off, without much success. Either nothing comes off or it gouges a hole into the plasterboard.
Would a sds drill with a chisel attachment be any better?
I see Bosch do a chisel/scraper machine for about £30. Is this any use or is the sds drill more versatile?
I thought I might be able to sand it but my orbital sander with a coarse grit has not moved much either. Would a belt sander be more powerful?
I think I need something to grind it off. Do I need to look for something to attach to my drill? A wire brush or some similar abrasive disk?
Failing that, should I rip the wall off and replace with aqua panel to give a smooth, flat surface?
Thanks.
