How hard is it to chip out a feature/border tile strip?

[miljee]

It's made up of 50mm wide, 250mm long tiles which are sort of 3D- they have a rope effect design sitting proud of them. About half form the top of a half wall height of tiles as a border with a painted hollow wall above, the others are embedded as part of a shower wall feature effect. The rest of the tiles on the walls are intact (plain white Wickes specials!)

Whilst I have been told it's relatively easy to chip these out and replace them I wanted your opinion. Which tools should I use? Anything (apart from the obvious Don't let the tool SLIP!) I need to consider?

Thanks

You will need to rake out the grout around them first,you can just knock a chisel or bolster behind the top layer ones,as for the ones with tiles above start with the middle one,I would hit it with a hammer a few times to break it then lever the bits out then you should be able to get under the ones either side.

Your hollow wall is most probably plasterboard so will need some filling once the tiles are off.

Make sure you wear some safety specs and gloves
