So I am contemplating a bathroom remodel. I think I would have to remove my tile from my slab floor. If I went over the 2 existing layers, I just don't think it would look right. Are there tricks for doing this? Am I in for a nightmare?
Assuming its ceramic tile, you could use an air chisel with a flat bit. Works well to pop off the tile and any remaining grout and mortar.
If vinyl tile, a heat gun or propane torch may help - don't burn the house down.
Dang --- why did my weedburner cross my mind.... [ouch] Don't do it.... [waiting]
If ceramic, I found that my impact hammer with a flat bit made very, very short work of getting ceramic tile up. I even put goggles, hearing protection and gloves on my 9 year old daughter and let her do it. (Not that I would ever abuse child labor). It went really, really fast.
Definitely wear goggles!
Put a fan blowing out the window, and shut the door. It makes a LOT of dust, but as the others said, it is quick work.
