Bath tile removal. Ugh. Yes, it’s a huge task to undertake and one that’s very labor intensive. But, it’s not something which requires a ton of contracting experience. However, it does mean you will need a bit of a handyman’s skill set to get it right. In other words, if you are a total neophyte, and have some experience working with tools and some light to mid-level handyman experience, you’ll probably get through it just fine. Although, if this doesn’t describe you, it’s best to go with an experienced, licensed contractor.

Bath Tile Disposal

Okay, before we even get to bathroom tile removal, you’ve got to think about disposal. Why? Because it’s going to be an eventual reality. Not to mention all the other debris that will present a real problem. (Particularly if there’s anything that’s hazardous lurking in there, like asbestos or Chinese drywall.)

Ceramic tiles are used for bathroom showers and floors because they prevent water damage to floor and wall underlayment. Ceramic tiles are hard and durable, lasting for years. Many homeowners or home buyers decide to remove existing tiles and redecorate with new tile styles, sizes or patterns. Removing ceramic tiles from the shower walls can be difficult without damaging the surface of the wall because of the strong adhesive used with the original tile installation. —San Fransico Gate

So, take the time to plan ahead. You’ll need a way to deal with all the remodeling debris in order to avoid big time safety hazards. The best thing to do is call a junk hauling service and schedule a day and time to pick it all up and take it away. This way, you don’t have to worry about the disposal process and/or recycling responsibilities.

Bath Tile Removal Guide for Olancha Residents and Beyond

The good news is that no matter what’s under it, this is a demolition job, which means you don’t have to necessarily start in a particular place:

• Clear out the space. After you shut off the water, remove everything from the space. Clear out the cabinets and closets. In addition, take down any wall decor so it’s also out of the way. Leave nothing inside because it might get damaged or could pose a safety hazard.
• Use a chisel and three-pound sledge to hammer through the tile. You don’t have to be subtle about it, just pick a spot and chisel through the tile to get to the underside.
• Cut through the plywood with a reciprocating saw. You might need to remove the construction material previously concealed by the tile. For example, if it’s plywood and it’s damaged, you’ll have to cut out the plywood and replace it.
