Tiling...

[jaydebruyne]

the question you got to think of where am i going to get tiles to match as they will crack

Will have to research it before I do the job

Jay if you are extremely lucky and who ever stuck the tiles on used poor adhesive you maybe in with a chance. But I doubt it.
I am assuming the tiles are on plasterboard , if you have a multicutter scrape out the grout and carefully cut through the grout line straight through the board as well , in other words the tiles will be untouched and still stuck to the board.
Bung them in a bucket of water for a few days and the adhesive should scrape off.
Yes a load of work but it does work , I have done it loads of times


Good luck lol

You said about going behind, how would that work if it's screwed in at the front? I'd have to cut out the baton or whatever it's screwed to and then fix the new tap to a new piece of wood and then mount that on to whatever is hanging over...???

No, I'm sure you've mentioned before about going behind rather than in front to remove the tap, no?? Maybe I had too many vinos when I read the replies lol

Yeah I was thinking of gettin one of those bikes with the front container like you see those idiots in with their kids in the front ... Might save me a few hours sitting in traffic

So I've been back to the property and I reckon going in from behind may be an option. There's no way to get the tiles out without damaging something along the way. So in gonna poke my inspection camera through the plasterboard and see what the backside looks like.

I'm guessing it's been fitted onto a stud which I'll have to cut out and replace once I fit the new tap into the replacement piece ... That's the aim anyway.
