Hello-
Currently planning some bathroom improvements and have been thinking it would be nice to have new counters match the tub/shower area. So I started wondering...is there a way to remove cultured marble wall panels that surround my tub/shower combo? If not remove, can I tile over the panels if I prep them properly?

They can be removed. If you're lucky you can salvage some of the marble for future projects

Thanks Daniel! Are you able to recommend any process(es) for removing (hopefully with minimum damage to walls)? What tools might I need, etc.? What considerations do I need to keep in mind (plumbing connections, etc.)?
And since I have your attention on this topic, is it possible, or recommended to tile over the marble panels? My '06 home improvement focus will be in the master bath where more of these panels are surrounding the tub, wall and separate, yet adjoining shower stall.

Any and all suggestions and recommendations are welcome!!
Thank you in advance -
