Removing a Backsplash

Let’s start with what is a backsplash, and why would a homeowner want to remove it? The backsplash is the panel behind a sink or stove made to protect the wall from spills and splatters. Sometimes a backsplash may appear in a bathroom. As functional and necessary as a backsplash can be, more recently, they have become another way to add a focal point in the home. The backsplash is both a practical and eye-catching addition to add immediate value to any home.

Depending on the homeowner’s style or even what functions they require at a specific time in their lives—for example, children at home splash more water and tend to splatter items when they cook—it could be time for an upgrade or change the kitchen backsplash. The options are almost endless when it comes to updating, and a diy kitchen backsplash is within reach of many homeowners.

To be able to change out the backsplash, the homeowner must recognize what type they currently possess, decide the best way to remove it, and with which material to replace it. An easy backsplash would be a simply painted wall to add a bold color or a bit of a pop, but a ceramic tile backsplash is the most common as it is durable, cheap, easy to install, and comes in an array of colors and styles.

A prevailing trend is the subway tile backsplash as its thin grout lines and the flat surface makes it very versatile and easy to clean. The white brick backsplash has resurged in popularity as it effortlessly creates the farmhouse look today’s homeowner craves. The subway tile backsplash also opens itself up to more color as the tiles can be painted on a whim. How best to remove paint from tiles is simply a razor blade, and one is ready to start with a new hue without the hassle of removing the entire backsplash.

Tile itself is still the most popular backsplash, but recently natural stone has begun closing in fast. One may apply a granite backsplash using the same material as the countertops, so the homeowner’s backsplash can match with the black granite countertops they still enjoy. A mosaic tile backsplash made of stone, ceramic, or glass can be used for accent borders or edging to add a designer’s touch to the kitchen or bath.

A glass tile backsplash is another good option as the surface is less porous than ceramic and can best resist stains and mold or mildew. However, it is much more expensive than a ceramic kitchen backsplash tile and not usually completed by the do-it-yourself crowd as it requires a very steady grouting job to look its absolute best. A beadboard backsplash is also making a comeback since the sheets can be cut to any length and are inexpensive and easy to install.

Finally, the stick-on backsplash is a newer, cost-efficient, and durable option for a quick change to a room. The self-stick backsplash is made of light materials that can be applied to a very clean surface and done without grouting the backsplash. These removable backsplashes come in a variety of materials such as peel & stick vinyl wallpaper, vinyl flooring planks, and even vinyl tiles. These are some of the easiest backsplash options to put up as well as to remove.

Tile is still the primary medium for backsplashes; therefore, how to remove a tile backsplash is the most useful. As with most home remodeling projects, taking one’s time and applying patience is the absolute first step, especially with removing tile from a wall. To begin removing a tile backsplash, the homeowner should cover the countertops and plug the sinks, turn off the electricity to the kitchen area, and remove the faceplates for light switches and any outlets involved with the tile removal. After putting on safety goggles and gloves, the homeowner should start working in small sections.

It would be very rare to have no grout for a backsplash when removing ceramic tile, so one would start by clearing away the grout from between the sections using a grout removal tool. A chisel and a steady hand are the best options for how to remove grout from tile. With the grout removal completed, the homeowner would be able to loosen the tile with a putty knife and rubber mallet by tapping on the tiles, and then lodge the tile removal tool under the tile to pop it out. Always remember to use angles to avoid damaging the drywall behind the tile. Removing the tile from a bathroom wall would be very similar to how one would remove a backsplash from a kitchen.

Now the previous backsplash has been removed cleanly; the homeowner is ready for the new kitchen backsplash installation. A kitchen backsplash can be created in an assortment of colors: white, blue, grey, red, and more. The kitchen backsplash can be brick, wood, glass tile, or ceramic tiles; the possibilities for a fresh look are almost endless. Once the background surface is ready, the homeowner should be able to easily decide how to tile a backsplash in their new style and color scheme and install the kitchen backsplash.

For installing a replacement tile kitchen backsplash, a clean, dry surface is necessary. The removal of a backsplash, whether in the kitchen or bathroom, can be completed by a do-it-yourself homeowner, but professional help can make the task go by much more quickly and cleanly as a licensed contractor would know the best way on how to remove ceramic tile from a wall.
