@bigals2008 Yeah, we try to do less zooming in our videos now. And we have plans to buy a better camera which will be better with zoom and sound, etc. Thanks.
great info but i hated the guy/girl kept zooming in and out constantly.
If you like the tiles and everything surrounding the tiles, visit the best Blog about tiling the world:

You also do not start at the top either OMG, are you a real tiler or jobbing diy’er ?
It’s not mastic either mate lol
People get a pro in or at least do not do it like instructed in this rubbish video.
Always good. thanks man.
great video, thanks for the educational walkthrough.
Great video. Thanks!
thx you so much that will be my next step most of the tiles seems to be ok must be coming from under widow wall i hope..
@MrHazelpagan You’ve obviously have a severe moisture problem. I would suggest removing all the tiles in the general area where the plumbing lines are to see if there is a leak there. If there is not then the shower pan area is leaking. Also, water could be getting behind the tiles if the grout has failed and the tiles/grout are not sealed.
but what happens if after i removed some tiles the wall is wet .
I don’t disagree with the host’s video (good video!) but I think in the grand scheme of things this approach is messy and a waste of time. Take a small electric saw/cutter and just cut the board around the tile. Just take it out all out fast and clean in one shot. Put new cement board, seal/waterproof, etc. and re-tile or panel.
Smashing things makes for great fun on TV shows, but in reality I say save 10x the work and mess and just cut it if you can, take it out and move on with the project.
Thanks. this was exACTly what I needed to know.
I’m trying to remove the tiles off my kitchen wall, and they’re looking very much the same as bathroom shower tiles… only these kitchen ones appear to have about 5 layers of paint on them… I’m finding that the tiles are chipping away in tiny, tiny pieces, sometimes even breaking half of the tile – leaving half the ceramic tile part on the wall, but the painted top of the tile comes off. None of mine are coming off very well at all… Is there anything I can do to make them come off easier?
I wish someone could help me… My step dads making me do this and im only, my arms are hurting already… but i have to strip the whole bathroom of tiles :s
I just use rotary hammer.
If you are able to prevent the backer board from not tearing up when removing the tiles and not having high spots you may be okay. With my project, I was installing new shower fixtures. However even when carefully taking down the ceramic tile I still created a few holes in the backer board.
Do I have to replace the backer board with a brand new one? Why can’t I use the existing one??
@omegapointil,
Using the reciprocating saw puts you at risk of cutting things you don’t want to, e.g. pipes and electrical wires.
Another video had them using a reciprocating saw. since you’re removing the backboard and replacing it why wouldn’t you just cut and take tile and board down at once. seems faster.
Awesome, cold chisel is how I’m going to do mine, nice video.
Has anyone ever tried to locating backer seams, remove tile there so that backer removal can begin at a seam leaving a lot of the tile intact ?
Thanks for the info. Very helpful.
