When a tile in your home breaks, cracks, or becomes stained, the first thing that will come to your mind is to have it repaired.

Taking on this project requires diligence and caution to protect both you and your home. Plan on dust being everywhere, a good amount of manual labor, and the handling of some dangerous materials.”
Another time-consuming part when it comes to tile removal is when you’re doing it with your bathroom floors. You may sometimes need to move fixture first before removing the tile.
Mick Telkamp of DIYNetwork shared an article about the step-by-step instructions to remove an old bathroom tile floor.
