- Ask a Tradesman. Best Answer. You can tile over the current tiles, and as another tradesman has stated please check the tiles are sound and not loose as this would cause problems later. Should they be loose, remove these and level the hole/gap to match the existing tiles, either with bonding/tile adhesive.

Concrete Control joints should be put in the concrete to provide a place for stress relief (read 'cracking'). Control joints should be 2 to 3 times (in feet) the thickness of the slab in inches. i.e. a 4 slab should have control joints every 8 to 12 feet.Control joints should be ¼ the thickness of the slab. Thus a 4 sidewalk should have 1 deep control joints.ontrol joints should be put in the concrete to provide a place for stress relief (read 'cracking').

Bathroom tiling - fit bath then tile or tile then fit bath Well, I tiled first and left the row of tiles around the bath as suggested. I put a steel bath in and I carefully siliconed this to the wall and then I also put the under tile drip cill in. I actually silicoined this to the bath and tiled over but did not fix the tang under the tile so it allows for slight movement.it the bath then tile around it. When you tile around it get some of that bath and tile surround from the DIY mercants. This is placed upon the bath and the other leaf is tiled over using the first course of tiles.

Installing self stick tile over concrete/old tile Hey rlsnodgrass. I just recently put the peel and stick tile down in my basement. Just sweep and damp mop the concrete and allow plenty of time to dry and you will be fine to put down the peel and stick tiles. When you say that you want to tile over the old vinyl. I am assuming that you are using the same peel and stick tile there as well and not actual tile. You can install new peel and stick over top of the tile but I would damp mop it with a water/ammonia solution to strip any wax off the surface. This will help it adhere properly. Good luck, let us know how it looks.

You want the cracks to occur at the control joints. Space the joints about every 4 ft. on walks and at least every 10 ft. on larger slabs.

Can I install ceramic tile on top of existing ceramic tile on bathroom floor? My husband does this for a living. You can do it if you want, but it is not a good idea because if the tile underneath gets loose and broken the tiles on top also will and then it will all go bad. Concrete and wood are one big piece and will not break like the tile will.

- It is also possible, though not common, to use smooth dowels through a control joint that are coated to prevent bond. For thicker slabs, a crack inducer can be placed on the sub-grade to reduce the thickness of the saw cut required. Finally an insert can be placed in the plastic concrete to create a control joint. The insert can be a simple hardboard strip or one of several products on the market for this use.
