Great tutorial, I'm a science teacher and I'm going to use your instructions to get the tile off the wall and for my physics class.

[@HandzforHire]

That’s great! I taught high school physics for 13 years in NJ before moving to FL. I always had the same question so I made it my job to apply physics concepts to the real world. It sounds like you’re doing the same! Have a great day!

To make long story short, I only need to remove 6-8 random tiles that have a pattern on them and replace them with the same solid white tiles that are currently there. I don't want to remove and retile the whole backsplash for the sake of just replacing them. Your idea of scoring the grout is exactly what I need to remove these selected 4" x 4" tiles without damaging the others. Great tip! Thanks!

This is a really good video actually. I used the same chisel to remove my bathroom tile. I did not cut the grout first.

[@rustedrizzoot]

Is this easier than just cutting the sheetrock out and putting a piece in - especially if you're going to re-tile anyway?

[@HandzforHire]

Jason Crawford probably easier to cut out and replace lol. Long story short, I was helping a neighbor and they didn’t have any supplies other than the tile. I was able to find a piece of cement board to do the one patch but it wasn’t enough for the two backsplashes. Neighbor was on a two day time crunch to get the whole project done so we pushed forward and made do.

[@adrianb893]

Hi dude . When you installed the cement bored right next to the Drywall ,did you patch it up together the same way you would patch it up if it was two pieces of drywall together ?

[@HandzforHire]

Hi Adrian, since I knew I was tiling over it again, I didn’t patch it together. It was secured to two studs and the adhesive for the tiles really smoothed out the surface for the tile.

[@geansy31]

I just recently removed old tile backsplash and my customer wants a peal and stick back splash up ive sanded it with different grit starting at 80 and making my way up will it adhere or do you think it will stick

[@HandzforHire]

Hi Jay, great question. I think it all depends on how well you prepare the surface. If it's flat and sanded well like you mentioned, then I think it could work. The adhesive on those tiles is pretty strong. In a lot of cases it's harder to remove than the normal tile adhesive. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

[@maryannmcinerney8713]

I'd like to try this method to remove my kitchen backsplash. I have an "L" shaped kitchen, and the tile edges are "locked in" by cabinets. How do you suggest removing the first tile without having an exposed edge? Thanks!

[@HandzforHire]

That's a little more challenging, but maybe try to score really well around a tile towards the middle. If you can pop one out, then you can work your way towards the cabinets.

[@hugojimenez2538]

[@HandzforHire]

Thanks Guerito! Lol.

[@pmnelson81]

A utility knife is good enough to score the tile grout? Just a regular razor blade on the grout?

[@HandzforHire]

pmnelson81 that’s what I was able to do. After a few passes, I had a pretty deep groove and the blade on the utility knife held up pretty well. I replaced it after I finished scoring the grout.

[@joecumbest624]

I was having hell with the tile, watched this vid and it came off without issue, thanks

[@HandzforHire]

Glad it helped! I was having the same issue and I’m a physics teacher. So I said to myself, why am I not applying the fundamentals of physics? Lol.

[@HandzforHire]

[@DebyColes]

Any tips for how to start off when the entire room is tiled? My bathroom is tiled on every surface except the ceiling so I don't have any edges to start from.

[@HandzforHire]

Good question. I'd etch the grout around an entire tile, and try to pop one. This will give you a starting point, and you can work from there. Good luck! Sheetrock is fairly cheap so if you end destroying the sheetrock in a certain area, you can cut out a section between studs and repair with a patch.

[@brethart4938]

Did back how did you paint the wall back and also how did you guys get it like oh another backsplash

[@HandzforHire]

Hey Bret, truth be told, it would have been really tough to patch and simply paint the backsplash. Even though there weren't big chunks missing, the surface was still pretty blemished. We put a new backsplash right on the spot where the old backsplash was located. If I wanted to change to painted sheetrock, then I would have cut out the whole section and put in new fresh sheetrock. Good luck with whatever project you're working on!

[@SikaSW]

I have badly installed tile in my kitchen and if I had to cut out the Sheetrock would need to take out the cabinets. My question - the tile in the kitchen is much larger (not subway tile). Will this method still work? Based on your science lesson I am concerned that I will still be damaging the sheetrock.

[@HandzforHire]

That is a great question. If the tile is much larger and adhered well to the wall, it could do some sheetrock damage upon removal. If you want to give it a shot, I'd still score the grout and try to use a wider spatula to get under the tile. Start slowly on one of the edges that's not next to the cabinets if possible. Let me know how it goes. Good luck!

[@kurtfischback8453]

I've never used a multi tool before, but wouldn't one of those work well for removing the old tile?

[@HandzforHire]

I've never tried it either, but I don't see why not. I'd still score first just to preserve the sheetrock behind.

[@SAIDBETT1984]

I actually like the old tile.

[@tckt80]

I was thinking the same thing. At the beginning of the video I thought I was seeing the finished product until he started chiseling at it. However, he seems to know his stuff.

[@beefchops1400]

Not easier just to tile over the existing tiles on a solid wall as the new kitchen will be the same dimensions?

[@ceeIoc]

Can you drill in the sheetrock at an angle if the stud isnt directly behind it?

[@HandzforHire]

Hi Ceeloc, if you're talking about a patch, the sheetrock needs something to rest against, so I'd cut out extra sheetrock just so you can hit a stud on either side of the patch. This will secure it better and give you less issues when you Spackle the patched area. If I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do, please let me know.

[@ryankwan1934]

Is it worth wetting the grout to make scoring easier/reduce dust or will that damage the sheetrock underneath?

[@HandzforHire]

It might help soften the grout a little, but if it cured properly, water shouldn't affect the grout much. You about to start a project?

[@ryankwan1934]

@@HandzforHire Yeah, I ended up starting. What I did was fit my Dremel with a carbide bit to make the scoring faster and then popped out the tiles. It went really easily. I sanded the existing dry wall to smooth it out. Now, I'm not sure if I should apply a layer of drywall mud and then sand it or use something like ECO Prim Grip before setting the new backsplash tiles.

[@HandzforHire]

@@ryankwan1934 awesome! Dremel is a great idea. If you have the time to spare to apply a layer of mud and let it dry to further smooth, then not a bad idea, but if time is an issue go the other route.

[@CharrissePowell]

Would this tile removal method work with tile over tile projects?

[@HandzforHire]

It's worth a shot, but it depends how well the two layers of tile are adhered. It's a battle of adhesion between the tile and whatever the lower level of tile is adhered to. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

[@anordenpeach]

My backsplash behind the cooktop is one big piece of tile - it's approx 30" x 32" - no grout lines. Can I break the tile (gently?) with a hammer? Then try to get pieces out....I know they'll be sharp.....

[@HandzforHire]

That is a bit of a challenge. Is your cooktop fastened to the counter top, or can it be slid forward at all? Just curious if you could access the lower edge of the tile behind the cooktop. If not, then you might consider scoring around the edges of the large tile, lightly trying to break it up and remove. Use work gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges. If the sheetrock is too much of a mess after, cut the whole piece out and screw a new one in. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

[@RadishTink]

What kind of tool did you use to score the grout at the beginning?

[@HandzforHire]

Hello, I just used a Husky utility knife that I purchased from Home Depot. Good luck!

[@Ed_Gein]

If you are replacing the tile with tile wouldnt thinset over the sheetrock missing paper work?

[@HandzforHire]

Yes it would work well and is a great idea, but on this job I was very limited on time.

[@simardj6877]

Can you please tell me where you can get a scraper like this from ?

[@HandzforHire]

Hi Simard, I believe I picked it up at Home Depot. I just added a link in the description. Have a great day!

[@renravvarn8858]

What about backsplash that is connected to cinder block as my house is cinder block.

[@HandzforHire]

That is a tough one, and the way that I know of is a hammer, chisel, and a lot of work. The only other option that I'd consider to avoid all the work is tiling over the existing tile if the existing tile is in decent condition.

[@coyotecrewman79]

I wouldn't have used an edge piece for the drywall patch. The edges of a fresh sheet of drywall are more narrow than the centers and that is so you can mud the edges to better better blend where two drywall sheets meet up or when doing corners or where the wall meets the ceiling. You're better off using a piece without the factory edge of the drywall as part of your patch. Makes it easier to tape, mud and sand to the same thickness of the rest of the wall.

[@HandzforHire]

Thanks for the tip!

[@brinaw8791]

Is there any way to salvage the wall to be able to paint it instead of re-tiling?

[@almason253]

I have a method that I devised years ago. I peel the old grout and tile adhesive off so that only the brown paper on the wallboard is showing. I then prime the paper with Zinnser 123. This "stabilizes" the paper. Sand primed wall lightly to remove burrs in preparation for a skim coat of drywall compound. Sand, prime and paint the wall and you're good to go.

[@HandzforHire]

Ross gave a very good method, but personally, I've never had a lot of luck. I end up with so many little pock marks in the sheet rock that it would take forever to spackle, sand, and get perfect. It's almost easier to cut out the old sheet rock, cut and install new, tape the lines between old and new sheet rock, and do a light spackling on screws and tape. This way you start with an amazingly smooth surface. I'm sure Ross's method works too, but requires a bit of patience.

[@cherukuwadasravyasri4185]
