Take 1 tile up

avisccs

I had my floor tiled 3 days ago and I found that one of the tile is not level with the others. It is at the middle of my room.
Is it any way i can take the tile up and relay it? The tile is about 1/4 an inch thick, so it's difficult to break it. I have spare tile, so I don't mind to break this one. I just don't know how to break it and I only have a normal size hammer.
Any suggestion?

Is it ceramic or porcelain? Do you have underfloor heating?

you could do a lot worse than seek advice from this lot. http://www.tilersforums.co.uk/

But a do agree with WB, get the tiler back if you are not satisfied

Unfortunately, it's a friend's friend's job. I only paid 40 pounds for the job and he didn't finish the job off. My boyfriend and I did the edge tiling. There are many other problems, apart from not flat. I am definately regret asking him to do it.

Is it better to remove that tile now than later (in a week?) or it doesn't make any different? The adersive bag said it takes 48 hours to dry.

I would do it sooner rather than later as I found the grout was much harder to remove after a week than it was after a couple of days.
