Tile On Tile

Hi There. Wonder If Anyone Could Help Please. Iam Going To Tile Over The Existing Tiles On My Bathroom Wall.is This Possible?and If So What Is The Best Way Of Going About It ? The Existing Tiles Are Secure But Smaller Than The New Ones. What Is The Best Type Of Adhesive To Use?

You can tile over tiles yes..but do consider the extra weight you will be adding to the existing substrate as well....but if its what you are going to do then wash tiles with sugar soap and tile with single part flexi adhesive.......dave.....

p.s...if it was me i would consider removing the tiles and starting with a fresh wall then you can guarantee no probs....

you need also to think about the depth, will the new tiles stand proud of any doors windows etc

Always far better to tile on board\plaster than old tile, unless for some strange reason it can't be done otherwise.
