Hi
I am in the process of re-tiling the bath room, and have found 2 rows of old tiles underneath the existing ones which I need to remove.
Trouble is, the old tiles have been cemented (not grouted) directly onto breeze blocks, and they are impossible to remove without taking the cement and quite a lot of the breeze block with them. I have nibbled off an area about 2 sq foot, but just noticed that the breeze block has crumbled and I now have a hole through the wall into my bedroom.....
Is there a way of getting the old tiles off the wall without destroying the blocks? Not too keen on leaving the tiles and skimming over them, as the space is a VERY tight fit for the bath (had to cut the old one to get it out), and layer-upon-layer of plaster and tiles just makes this worse.
Advice please?
Cheers
Jim
