I am tiling a bathroom floor that has vinyl flooring down. Should i take up the flooring and tile on the glue or do i need to completely strip the floor and then prime it? | ||||||||||

If it is normal vinyl, you will need to take it up. Vinyl tiles can be left down as long as they are very secure. As Baltas says, what is the substrate? Grumpy | ||

No problem then KGR, just lift it, clean the floor and tile away. If it has been previsouly glued down (not normal in my experience) then you may have to prime the surface with something like BAL Bond SBR first. Grumpy | ||
