For small area usually contractor will charge more. I will estimate about RM3k for your area of tiling

Hello guys, is this a right practice that doing tiling over existing tiles?

My contractor quote me cheap for that kind of work.
I worried later crack happen on the old tile underneath that will impacting my new tile work.

He said he will create holes on the existing tiles, after that pour proofing material, let it dry and only the next day he will lay new tiles.

Your comments are appreciated.

Is a risk, it might work but if does comes up in the future it will be big trouble

Hi, I'm planning to buy materials for tiling myself since a lot of people say much cheaper this way and just hire contractor for labour. I did my calculation. I need to buy about 300pcs 2x2 and 200pcs 2x1 tiles. Other than cement and sand, what other material need to buy? And how many cement and sand and other material I need to buy? I don't want to be conned by the contractor. I heard some cases where the contractor asked to buy more than it should be and sell the extra material.

If I'm going to DIY hacking existing tiles, do I need to remove old cement as well? Or just the tiles is enough? How many layers are there usually?
Plus, is there any good tiling contractor doing job in Batu Caves/Gombak area? Thanks

Unless you know what you are doing, is totally not something you can DIY. PM me if you looking for good contractor. Some things are not meant to be save on cost but rather be safe on doing it properly
