removing old tiles...

[Hangman]

Hello

I'm currently using a wide chisel and hammer to remove old tiles from my kitchen wall. I've come to a section (previously a doorway) where the tiles are stuck on a stud wall which is built with plaster boards.

My problem is that when I try and pry off the tiles the chisle goes through the plaster board making holes.

Is there any way to avoid this by using a different method or a certain type of tool?

Many, many thanks in advance.
Yours very frustrated!!

rip the wall down, you have damaged it any way

they are very tiny holes... is there really no other way?!

paint scraper?

I use a old wallpaper scraper and file the edge down like a sharp chisel and tap it gently with a hammer seem to work for me.

You may find it easier to remove the whole of the tiled plasterboard section and fit new plasterboards. Plasterboard is dead cheap too.
