How to Trim Floor Tile That Is Already on the Floor

By Home & Garden Last updated Monday, May/13/2024

1). Measure and mark the cuts needed with a marker. Check and double-check the marks for accuracy.
2). Drag the angle grinder with a diamond cutting disc along the marks made slowly with light, downward pressure to score the surface of the tile.
3). Repeat Step 2 several times to obtain a deep cut all the way through the tile.
4). Cut the tile along the grout line with the angle grinder to remove the grout from the area that needs to be removed.
5). Insert the tip of the cold chisel into the opening created by the cut. Tap the chisel at an angle to the section to be removed lightly to dislodge the section. Pry up the section by hand or with a pry bar to remove.
