Concrete over tile
-
SLS Construction & Building Solutions LLC on Feb 26, 2015Sure it is possible but not advisable in the least - better to remove the tile / backer-board & if the base is still good do a pour in place countertop. If not you would have to remove that also & start from scratchHelpful Reply

Cheryl Tarkington on Feb 26, 2015I have old ceramic tile counter tops in my kitchen. The grout was set too wide and turned varying shades of dirty. I used a grout filler that is designed to change the color. Then I used an epoxy designed for surfaces like tables and bars in restaurants. I have been pleased with the results.Helpful Reply

Debbie on Feb 26, 2015if the tiles are well stuck down then you can just give them a rough up with a angle grinder to remove the gloss and scuff them up, then the cement will bond in.Helpful Reply

Cheryl Tarkington on Dec 20, 2015Ladan, I am no longer happy with the results. The epoxy surface stains if you look at it too hard and anything heavier than an ounce sticks after an hour or two. The epoxy was in the paint department, but I don't remember the name. The grout filler was a disappointment too. you might as well use paint, because it wares off just that quickly even with a fixer. I'd rather have the concrete.Helpful Reply
