Over tiling existing floor
I have a ceramic tiled bathroom floor installed on 18mm ply. It is 8 years old and shows no signs of cracking or movement. We now want to change the tiles. Should I remove the tiles or tile over the top.
Any suggestions as to how to remove existing tiles if that is the general advice.

Re: Over tiling existing floor
I would take it up mate and start a fresh, chisel and lump hammer do the trick for me, if u tiled over would it not be too high anyway, like I said, take it up, clean it up, prime it, and start again,
