Taking off tiles.

[Loopeyblue]

Hi ,
i wonder if someone could advise on the best way to take off bathroom wall tiles? At the moment i am using a chisel & hammer & it's taking ages, is there a special tool i could use?

You could go & hire a small rotary hammer & used a spade on it.
Depends how many you have to remove

I dont have many to get off , it's a tiny bathroom , the length of a bath & width of bath & sink. Don't really want to be spending too much money a the moment. Is there something wider then a chisel?

You could use a shovel but it depends on what state you want your walls in when you've finished

Seriously though, time and patience makes for a better quality of job. Persevere with hammer and chisel and you'll be rewarded with a relatively ok wall afterwards.

It's ok my Dad has just bought me a bolster chisel, think that's what it's called.
Thanks for the help i'll probably be popping back again, when i've got them all off.
