Tile on tile

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

When to see a pool today and customer is looking to over-tile the whole pool ! as i was giving it a good look over i could see other tiles underneath the tile at the surface ! :yikes: it all seemed very solid though, so the question is would you go for a further re-tile or suggest you hack-off and start again bering in mind it is a swimming pool in daily operation ??????

Surprisingly solid !!! but i'am not happy about three layers ! so i will include a hacking -off and re rendering price ! and see if the customer wants to remove them . thus not putting them off by being seen to inflate the bill :smilewinkgrin: right or wrong :smilewinkgrin:

What you need is a few tins of Ardex neoprene primer. (probably now completely illegal).

Paint that on the existing tiles, stand in the room for about 15 minutes. You then won't care what you're doing with the tiles and probably won't even be able to find the door to leave the room.

One of the jobs I have been doing this week is on top of tiles. The tiles are solid and I'm retiling with ceramics. I have coated the lot with a slurry. I have also made sure the new installation is completely plumb. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

I can't understand why you'd coat it with a slurry though, surely a polymer modified adhesive would be better, assuming existing tiles were sebum/grease free?

What sort of slurry did you use then charlie ? OPC AND SBR ?
