If your ripping out a bathroom that is fully tiled or tiled onto tile (nightmare) smash a vertical line straight up the middle with your hammer and horizontaly from left to right.then put rubber gloves on and pull the plasterboard right off in four sections .far easier than chipping tiles off one by one especially if its an old house and double tiled
