Remove the old ceramic tile starting at one of the edges. The best place to begin is where the old ceramic tile butts up against a different type of flooring, such as a carpet or wood floor. Chip away at the grout surrounding the old ceramic tile, using a metal putty knife and hammer. Set the putty knife on the grout and hit the top of the putty knife with the hammer. Work your way around the first tile pegged for removal.
