Hi there,

Hope you can help, have just bought a very old house that needs a considerable amount of work doing to it. The bathroom has some of the nastiest ceramic floor tiles I have ever seen also the height from floor to ceiling is 2.15 metres. We would like fit a shower tower (I believe the minimum height must be 2.20 metres for this to be possible). I am hoping to get rid of the floor tiles completely and hope recuperate the old oak floor boards (which would solve the height problem), or if they are too damaged install a new one. How do I take up the tiles without damaging too much the floor underneath?

Please help. Thanks.

A slightly worried novice DIYer.

This is fairly easy to do, just start in the doorway and use a blunt bolster to chisel the tiles up off the floor.

Either that or break 1 tile on a corner where it is weakest then you can get underneath it to remove it.

I hope you don't have the tile adhesive stuck directly to the floorboards?
