Can you reuse wall tiles?

If it is plasterboard then (hand) sawing through the grout and plasterboard could be an option. But with this and the stitch drilling method it is really important to check there are no hidden cables or pipes in the wall.

I agree with stuart45 that they look like quite thick tiles - which means there's probably a better chance of removing at least some without cracking them.

Its a very slow job to remove, I actually removed some of my bathroom tiles in Spain (about double your amount)

I had to buy a degrouting tool, so I could slowly chip at the grout between tiles, then slowly started at the top taking one tile at a time, including the cement on the back of the tile. This took about 5 days in total just to remove them, followed by days of soaking the old cement on the back of the tile in a large bucket and then removing the cement which took about 3 days.

We had 2 which broke in the process but we had 3 spare tiles.

Looking back, it would have been easier to get new tiles and saved lots of time, if you are paying someone to do this it will cost you due to the time and no guarantees the tiles wont break

My dear old dad, who had the patience of a saint, managed to get some of the 1970s chicken tiles off of a windowsill by cutting through the grouting with a hacksaw blade. They were really thin, it was amazing that he managed it. They were needed to replace some cracked ones next to the bath.

They look like Johnson’s Tiles, I had the same 20yrs ago but beige..

Depends where you live, but there’s a tile place in Stoke on Trent that buys old stock with a large warehouse.

But if you can get them off without damaging them, stick in a bucket of water fully submerged for a few days, the scrap the plaster/adeshive off
