Bathroom floor - laying on top of tile rather than removing tile

aquinn

Hey,

We have a lovely bathroom but the floor is white so is constantly dirty so very annoying.

Looking to, rather than rip up the floor completely how easy would it be to lay a floor on top of the current tile?

There is a gap already under the door so that shouldn't jam.

Something two could take on themselves with zero experience or better waiting to get it professionally fixed?

Thanks very much.

It could be done by scouring the existing tiles with a grinder, but I would advise taking up the existing tiles. Most of the time it's relatively easy taking up ground tiles.

By no means a professional, just a typical DYIer and I've an identical idea for my white tiles.

Gonna go with vinyl underlay and vinyl flooring. Tile grout lines aren't deep so should require very minimum filling for me. In terms of tools, all I'll be using is a Stanley knife and adhesive.
