    Default Help not sure what i should do?

    Hello guys not sure if this is in the correct part but im looking at changing my kitchen tiles which i did 3 years ago, which i wish i had never done cause i made a right mess of it cause i never tiled before so i thought i would give it a go and thought this can not be to hard how wrong was i!

    Number of factors why i did it my self was i had just got my own home and wanted to do everything my self to save money, which is not always the best idea but i fitted my own kitchen ok then came the tiles which are mosaic tiles the wife choose them lol ,they are fitted to the brick wall not plasterboard and the lengh is just under 5m and height at the highest point is 2ft of the area where the tiles are, i dont want to be doing the tiles my self this time and would like to know if it would be best to tile over the tiles or how do i remove the tiles without damaging the walls to much and the walls are not flat either which i think may have been down to me too, or do i just get a tiler in???? im not sure thats why i wanted to ask cause i think it might be a big job
    thanks guys sorry for the long read

    Hello Daniel and welcome..

    Removal of the old tiles would be the best option
    and then prep the walls flat for the new tiling.

    If you require a tiler let me know and i can recommend one for you.
