Painted tiles

[L & R CERAMICS]

if the tiles werent painted id go straight over them ,the paint will stop your glue from adhering to the tiles properly,also they have been paintad again with emulsion which in time im sure that will start peeling off as well,dont forget this is a bathroom ,loads of condensation ,how long has the paint been on the tiles and how many times have they been painted before

Hi Mate.... thanks for that. The paint has been up for a couple of years. The thing is She has told me that if required she is happy to remove all the paint leaving me with just the tiles. The tiles look very solid and had they not been painted over i would have happily tiled straight over them.

Basically mate If she removed all the paint of the tiles, and then i prepared the surface as you normally would for tile on tile do you think it would then be safe?

Bosch GBH/DRE. You can get the cordless one (costs a packet) or a corded one. Go for the 110v, it costs about 110 quid, then you will need to by the tile chisel. Thats another tenner.

Well worth it though, especially if you have to remove floor tiles....

Nice one Concept..... Love buying new toys, cant wait to get to screwfix 😀

if you think the tiles are secure and depending on how heavy the new ones are i cant see a problem,at the end of the day your covered because they asked you to go over them,but make sure they are solid
