    Default Tiling over old tiles - how reliable is that??

    Hi there,

    I woud like to update my 20 year-old bathroom which has immaculately been tiled. It's just that they are pink. And I hate them.

    Can I tile on top of them? Do I need to score them first?

    I would love some pointers.

    Thank you!

    if the pink tiles r well fixed then there is no reason u cant tile over them make sure u use flexi addhesive.

    also remember your floor level will also b raised if u tile on top ot the pink tiles, which may cause problems with door.
