Yes, you can tile over existing tiles if the wall is sturdy and none of the old tiles is cracked or loose. If there are only a few loose tiles, remove and clean them, then reinstall them with fresh adhesive before retiling the wall.
Thanks! Just what I wanted to hear! 👍
i would add, clean the surface of the old tile REAL WELL before putting the mastic for the new tile on..you can’t get it too clean..and i personally would make sure none of the old grout is above the surface of the old tile,,,usually found around the low corners .. if so, grind, sand down or wire brush down...then clean again with something that does not leave a residue...good luck!
thank you! After the holidays this might be my winter project!
I would think that as long as your tiles weren't loose or cracked and with your tile being small, as long as the new tiles adhered to them easily, you could tile over your existing tiles.
Thank You Alice!
Good luck
