INTRODUCTION:

Welcome to the Remove & Replace Damaged Wall & Floor Tiles course. This course only includes a challenge assessment designed to assess your knowledge and skills required to demonstrate competence in planning, preparing, removing, replacing, aligning, grouting and cleaning damaged wall and floor tiles in accordance with work instructions, substrate conditions, waterproofing requirements, workplace procedures and safety controls.

Removing and replacing damaged wall and floor tiles involves interpreting task instructions, selecting PPE, tools, equipment and repair materials, controlling worksite hazards, removing defective tiles without damaging surrounding areas and preparing surfaces for replacement tile installation. In real workplace practice, this skill area is important because repair work must restore the tiled area while maintaining surrounding tile condition, waterproofing integrity, joint alignment, visual consistency and a clean finished surface.

The course assessment focuses on your ability to read task instructions; select PPE; apply legal, Australian Standards, WHS, environmental, manufacturer, workplace, drawing and specification requirements; inspect worksites and control hazards with signage and barricades; select and check tools and equipment; report faults; select repair materials, calculate quantities and handle materials safely; remove damaged wall and floor tiles without affecting surrounding tiles; clean and clear old bedding; repair or replace waterproofing where required; select and cut matching replacement tiles; install tiles to maintain existing joint alignment; grout repaired areas; clean tiles; clear work areas; recycle materials; and maintain plant, tools and equipment.

By successfully completing this course assessment, you will have demonstrated that you can remove and replace damaged wall and floor tiles by interpreting work requirements, applying safety and workplace controls, selecting and checking tools and repair materials, removing defective tiles carefully, preparing surfaces and waterproofing where required, cutting and installing matching replacement tiles, maintaining alignment with existing joints, grouting, cleaning, recycling and maintaining equipment.
