    Default Removing chipped travertine floor tiles.

    Had a job todFloor Repair- Tunbridge Well 002.jpgay for a customer who haFloor Repair- Tunbridge Well 001.jpgs travertine floor, some of the tiles cracked so she got the tiler back to replace them. Well he chipped the edges on loads more trying to remove them with just a club hammer and chisle.Floor Repair- Tunbridge Well 004.jpgFloor Repair- Tunbridge Well 005.jpg i have 8 to remove and this is how it should be done. Remove grout with fein multimaster, then set the makita depth gauge to the thickness of the tile and cut corner to corner...then gentle use a SDS drill and the tile will come out without damaging the others.
