How can I remove old tiles from the kitchen splashboard?
I'm trying to remove old tiles from the kitchen splashboard. They used a very strong plaster and the tiles are small.

Do you have a multi tool? An oscillating one? They have different attachments for so many projects! It can remove tile easily! They sand, cut wood and metal, scrape.... I got mine at Harbor Freight for $30. I LOVE IT!
In some cases, the only way to tear out the ceramic tile is with heavy equipment such as a jackhammer or air chisel. Use a long-handled floor scraper to scrape away tile fragments and any old adhesive residue. After all the tiles are removed, you may need to smooth the subfloor with a sander. Be sure to cover sink to protect it and remove outlet covers, microwave (if you have one) and to protect the countertops as well.
Sadly sometimes tile removal includes sheetrock removal. Once it's off you would need to re-sheetrock.
