    Default cutting tiles

    Cutting tiles.

    i am about to try and cut out a border tile section on a splashback. Its only 30mm wide and is mount on gyb rock. Any advice on how to remove with minimal damage to the surface beneath. I am planning on cutting the joins with diamond blade and then criss cross cutting the tile tile before trying to remove the peices. Sound good or a disaster?????

    Default The right advice

    Looks like you know what you are doing! Just do the straight cut then try levering the bits out with a large flat blade screwdriver, you may get some damage but it depends on what you intend putting back in it's place. An old Greek Friend of mine once said!

    Thumbs up

    Would go with a much wider blade than a screwdriver and try to get something with a bit of flex. Maybe a stiff paint scraper?
