Tile removal

Post by keithski122 »

Hi, I may soon need to remove some wall tiles from the corner of my bathroom, top to bottom, so that pipes can be run down the wall to join the sevices for our loft conversion.
Is there a way I can remove the tiles without damaging them so I can box the pipes then reuse the tiles over the boxing in?
Cheers.

It's extremely unlikely that you will get them off without breaking.

Very unlikely you'll get them all off in one piece.

If you can't match them up with new ones, maybe go for a contrasting colour and make it a feature?
If at first you don't succeed - remove all evidence that you tried.
