Morning all, We are getting the bathroom replaced and the tiles now need removed to make room for new ones. I had asked the tiler if I could tile over them but he said I would be better removing them. So, what type of chisel/tool should I use and any recommended method. Thanks, WM

More fun with an SDS drill though. Successfully getting a whole run of tiles off in a single stroke makes ones day.
I agree. SDS is the way forward for such jobs! Get a good wide chisel bit though.

If the walls are plasterboard, consider ripping the board off (tiles and all) and replacing it, because you will probably knacker it while removing the tiles.
