In this article, we will analyze how to properly prepare the toilet and the bathroom for the upcoming repair.
The services of special dismantling brigades are not cheap, and if the budget does not allow additional expenses, you can always save by making “dirty” work with your own hands.
First of all, you need to determine the upcoming front of work. We will analyze the option in which the bathroom will be subject to complete update, including plumbing, wiring pipes and a complete replacement of tiles.
First of all, it is necessary to unscrew all the hooks, shelves and hangers from the walls. Next, you need to remove the door platbands from the side of the bathroom and toilet so that they do not interfere with the subsequent dismantling of tiles. The next step will be the removal of the sink, and the cabinets under it. Caution must be taken here, since you will have to remove the mixer, and for this it is necessary to block the water supply. Next begins the most interesting thing-tiles. There are several ways:
Using a perforator with a special nozzle-brown. The method is fast but very loud. Not all neighbors will like a one and a half to two hours of constant rumble.
With the help of a hammer and chisel. The method is slower, but quiet and neat. With the help of a bite or a yolk and a hammer on the seam is hit one tile anywhere. After that, with the help of the above tools, the tile is neatly knocked over the entire surface of the walls. By the way, this method is more convenient for the subsequent collection of garbage, since the tile most often moves away from the walls in general, which allows you to more conveniently store it for subsequent export. Well, or you can even use used tiles in the country or balcony.
Important: be sure to use building glasses to exclude the possible hit of fragments of glaze in the eyes.
After the tiles from the walls are removed, you need to take out the bathroom and the toilet. As a rule, this is not difficult, but the partner will not be superfluous. The time has come for floor tiles. In its composition, it is more dense and strong, which can make some difficulties. If you use a perforator, then again there are no problems except noise and roar. If you need to observe reasonable silence, first of all, you need to find a “weak link”. This is the tile under which there will be voids that will allow it to quickly split it with hammer blows. Further, using a chisel and a hammer, the tile from the floor is knocked down in a similar way, as well as from the walls.
