Repair - he is like two floods and one fire, or did it say about moving? Well, you can definitely say that DIY repair in the apartment requires a lot of effort from the owner. But a thorough approach to the work performed, clear planning and phased implementation of tasks leads to wonderful results and allows you to save money. Old tile in the bathroom or in the kitchen you can shoot yourself without resorting to the contractors service. How to do this, read in the instructions.
1
Prepare personal security objects: glasses or mask to protect your eyes from dust and slab fragments, tight gloves, respirator. If you use the perforator, it will not be superfluous to wear special protective headphones that can be purchased in a construction store.
2
If it is possible, completely dismantle the sink and bathroom or at least cover them not to damage the enamel.
3
Start dismantling from the highest row. The perforator usually has two modes - drilling and chopping. We need the second mode. Install the nozzle in the form of a small jackhammer and start chopping the tile from the edge. If you do not have a perforator, think about getting it for rent. Conduct these particularly noisy work in the allowed time - usually this time from 9.00-19.00. Make breaks, warn your neighbors about such work, especially if they have small children. On weekends and festive days, noisy work can not be performed. Try not to damage the wall itself.
4
If you do not have a perforator, you can do with simple handicraft tools: a hammer, chisel, a pulverizer with water. Treat the tuting seams with warm water from the sprayer. Tighten the tile with a hammer to find empties that are not filled with glue. These places hook chisel and knock on the hammer on it.
5
Use special metal hooks for tile removal. Also, before spraying the seams with water, picker the tiles on both sides and pull on yourself. It all depends on the diligence and quality of the previous wizard. If he does not hackturil, this option for removing the tile is unlikely to be suitable for you.
6
Fold the old tile in polyethylene containers. Whole can be used in the country or in the garage. And do not hurry to throw away - they can be used when filling the floor.
7
Remove the remaining glue from the floor or walls using a jigsaw or perforator, clean the irregularities with sandpaper or grinding machine.
After the work done, you can start laying a new tile. Here you already need to decide whether to invite you to the wizard or read another instruction and with new forces again begin to work.
