Removing Ceramic Tile from an Existing Concrete Floors

Length - 01:16

Removing ceramic tile from a concrete floor can be very labor intensive, says Harris, and may be better left in the hands of a professional. In addition to taking up the tile, you have to remove all the grout. And once the tile comes up, you'll need to scrape or grind the surface to get it smooth and remove flaws before applying a decorative treatment or overlay. Another option is to cover the tile with an overlay (see the video Installing Concrete Floors Over Tile).
