just wanted to ask whether retiling over existing tiles is ok for wall tiles as well?thinking of redoing my kitchen wall without hacking to save time....wonder whether it will drop off after a while...
Hi there,Technically speaking, it wouldn't works.. Reason being there is not holding grip between the old tiles and the new tiles...

Also, a advise given was for those 2x2 tile, you need to put a layer on the tile itself (Susu + cement) and leave it at least an hour or a day, than only put into the floor...
but it need to pay extra or you has informed / discuss before hand.

I not too sure what actually u mentioned here, but from technical point of view (CEMENT + SUSU) before laying is necessary...
Just some hints when you speak to your Tiles Specialist, are they laying in DRY-Method or WET-Method.
The cement sand base @ screed most be done properly with all level well indicated. For better outcome, the moisture content of the base screed most be as low as possible.
For 2' x 2' tiles, the real way of laying was to use Teethed Trowel method instead of Butter Method. But I have not seen anyone in Malaysia using this method as far from my past experience.
For 2' x 2' tiles, try to get those reliable quality tiles. Just my own experience, my tiles crocked after couple of years due to in-stable moisture content and atmospheric temperature.
