Hi all, I have a drain under a 600mm x 600mm tile in the balcony. Is there a tool I can use to lift the tile so that I can clean the drain?
I've tried the Trojan Double Cup Suction Holder available at Bunnings but it doesnt really stick since its a textured/ rough tile.
Hello @Mag31
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about your balcony drain.
I suggest using a Craftright 5-in-1 Scraper in combination with a flat head screwdriver. My best advice is to get an extra pair of hands to help you hold the tile up once you have a corner lifted up. The general steps will be to slide the scraper onto the side and carefully lift it up and using the screwdriver to hold it in place while you move the scraper further down the side of the tile. Once the corner is up you should now be able to lift the entire tile off the floor.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
