Can you get rid of grout once it has dried?

Question

i have a few tiles that i fitted wrong and so have taken them up rather than buy another full pack as i only need a few i was wondering can you use anything to get rid of the grout that is on the back of the tiles?

Answer 1

If the grout is hard then dnt even think of taking it tales out because you will break ur tiles but the grout will not come off.

its depend on what type of grout have u used there are number of grount that is used to tile it. i dnt knwo ehat type of grount have u used.

when did u fitted ur tiles. if you have fitted ur tiles today they can remove it easily by using anything such as knife etc...

if the u have tiles yesterday then u have loose ur tiles

Answer 2

what you are referring to is thinset on the back of the tiles, not grout (unless you set the tiles with grout, and i sure hope you didn't do that.)  you can try to take a paint scraper or a 5N1 tool and scraping the thinset off the back of the tiles, but most likely it won't work.  your best bet is to just go buy the box of tile, use what is necessary, and save the rest of the box for any repairs you might have in the future.  it's always a good idea to have extra tile just for this reason.  good luck!

Answer 3

Yes you can, but why let it dry... get it all off whilst it is still wet  Get an idle man to show you how - idle bods know the wrinkles.  Now I see we are talking floor tiles, are we talking grout or tile cement?.  If it has dried lay the tile face down on a soft surface and using an old grindstone rub it over the tile.  sit down to do the job, it is going to take time. Whatever you do, don't use a chisel on the tile. after an hour or so chipping away and the tile becoming clean, it will suddenly break - sods law.
