Is there a good reason why you can't just lay cement on the old tiles and lay the new tiles on top of them?

If it is more cost effective to go with tiles, then I might consider that instead.  The epoxy coating looks kind of cool though  biggrin.gif  but I need to know what type of maintenance is required for long lasting.

I'm not an engineer, so I don't know if there's some reason why people don't just cement over the old tiles and stick the new ones on top.

problem with re-tiling direct on top of existing tile
the height is increased, so check your water flow. will it flow out of bathroom?

Build the toilet door barrier a little higher then? you can retile that as well?

This is not possible as the next room is the bedroom. I will have to increase the height of the bedroom floor tiles then if I were to make the toilet tile barrier higher.

I see what you mean.
