Removing ceramic tile flooring is a big job, but it doesn’t have to be a difficult one. With the right tools and some patience, you can tackle this task with ease. Here’s how to get started.
The first step is to remove the grout. Use a grout saw to cut the grout lines and then use a chisel and hammer to get rid of the grout. Once the grout has been removed, you can start to remove the tiles. Use a chisel and hammer to chip away at the tiles until they are loose enough to be pulled up. Be careful not to damage the underlying subfloor.
Once the tiles have been removed, it’s time to clean up the surface. Use a vacuum to get rid of any remaining dust and debris. After that, you can use a mop and bucket to scrub the floor and remove any remaining dirt and grime. Once this is done, you can use a cleaner and an absorbent cloth to remove any remaining residue.
The next step is to remove the adhesive. Use a chemical stripper to dissolve the adhesive. Once the adhesive has been removed, use a putty knife to scrape away any remaining residue. Once this is done, you can use a vacuum to get rid of the residue.
Finally, you can replace the old tile with new. Use a trowel to spread adhesive over the area and then lay the new tile. Use spacers to ensure that the tiles are even and then use a grout saw to cut the grout lines. Once the new tiles are in place, use a sealant to protect the new tiles from moisture and wear and tear.
