I need to remove several tiles for repair and replace the tiles with as little damage as possible
if its in the middle, drill a hole in one, then chisel it out, once you have one removed the rest are easy
good luck,be as careful as you can, but you will still break 1 or more,a dremmell with a grout attachment will help a bunch,i've used one several times and though i broke 1 i was able to get 8 out without breaking more
Hit the individual tiles that you need to get out with a small hammer(not too hard or you might loosen more than you wanted) Once the tile is cracked you should be able to remove the bits, clean up the old adhesive put the new one in. Wear eye protection ....tile glaze is very sharp!
First thing you need to do is take out the surrounding grout. Once that is removed you can chip out a corner and work inward w/o any pressure against the closer tiles. This is why you take out the grout, it causes pressure against the next tile and it will cause chipping when you use a hammer and chisel . Once you have a corner chipped off , use a small chisel or a junk screw driver to get in between the mortar and the tile. Once the tile is out the glue or thin set can be scraped out down to the substrate . Clean and sweep well before regluing the new tile. Any other questions you can e mail me thru my avatar .. I ve had to do to many of these things over the years repairing other peoples tile.. GL
The first thing to do is stop hitting the tile with a hammer. I feel it is a far better idea to remove the cement board and tile all at the same time. You want to start removing tile where the ceramic tile ends and a different flooring material, such as carpet or hardwood flooring, begins. Do not try to start this job in the middle of the ceramic tile floor. for other information you can check my source site
