    if you apply heat with a method such as an iron, torch, or boiled water, the ceramic will expand and release the cement underneath more easily.

    I need to do this! I had a bad replacement of tiles done that don’t match in the kitchen and other half bathroom. I am planning a full remodel in the main bathroom and wanted to use the tiles to replace the non-matching ones in the other room. Does this same technique work on tile over concrete?

    • @TheRmartin2009
      @TheRmartin2009  Před 4 lety

  • @MovieMakingMan
    @MovieMakingMan Před 3 lety +8

    Thanks for the demonstration! But did you destroy the two adjacent tiles to be able get to the one you removed? And now that you have two fewer tiles how will you fill that space? I wish there was a liquid solution that would dissolve the grout.

    • @johndi1962
      @johndi1962 Před 11 měsíci +2

      I needed a time that broke in an easy to see area.
      I am going to go into a closet or under the stove or fridge to try to get the tile out.
      If I have to put a different tile in the closet, under the stove or fridge this will be a good option

    So how do you remove the first tile without breaking it?

    • @TheRmartin2009
      @TheRmartin2009  Před 4 lety +7

      MRED Most likely you would be removing the tiles starting from a threshold of two materials. Start there.

  • @shahars.2920
    @shahars.2920 Před 4 lety +3

    nice, but in this case you have two adjacent tiles which have been already removed. how can you remove the first tile without breaking it ?

    • @TheRmartin2009
      @TheRmartin2009  Před 4 lety +1

      Shahar S. You’ll most likely be starting at an edge, a threshold between two materials. That one will just take some patience. While this method doesn’t work 100% of the time you have a good chance of being successful if you take some time.

  • @jtoker9758
    @jtoker9758 Před 11 měsíci

    Now how do you go about getting the mortar off the bottom of the removed tile piece? I'm about to do this and want to reuse them if I need to, though I may not.

    • @chuckfinlay6093
      @chuckfinlay6093 Před 8 měsíci +1

      If you fully submerge the tile in water it will soften and loosen the adhesive on back of tile.

    Reading the comments, it would look as though some people just do not have the patience to do this kind of work.
    Which brand of blade did you use to remove the grouting?

    • @TheRmartin2009
      @TheRmartin2009  Před 8 měsíci

      Sorry for the late reply! Used a DEWALT Oscillating Tool Blade for Grout Removal, Fast Cutting, Carbide (DWA4220).

    @ekaram63 Před 2 lety +2

    Your mul tie tool is too slow unless only removing one tile. A grinder with masonary blade is best. As for bashing the putty knife with a hammer? ? That's a sure way of breaking it. Try a rubber mallet. Anyway i was expecting a more efficient approach to this problem.
