I am trying to remove tiles from around the bath on plasterboard. I ended up damaging the plaster board and having to cut the plasterboard around the tiles to get it off and re-plasterboard it.
I have the same job to do around the sink any advice on doing it without that level of aggravation.
I thought it would have been a simple job, lol famous last words.
Can't you tile over what's already there? - there's every possibility that the same thing will happen again.
You can try a few sharp scrapers, preferably flexible ones, and give the hammer and chisel a rest
Hit the tiles with a small hammer, to break them up abit, then I use a thin putty knife that I've made into a scraper, push behind tiles and they will come off easy-peasy
Being realistic, if they are bonded straight onto un-skimmed plasterboard, then they are not coming off without damage. You have three options:
Rough sand, then tile over the existing;
Rip the PB off in the first place complete with tiles, reboard, and re tile;
Chisel tiles off, and then replaster the now wrecked plasterboard before tiling.
