In the kitchen I currently have floor covering over the original red quarry tiles laid in the 1930's. Is it possible to put new modern tiles directly onto the originals as I assume that it's easier to start with a nice level base.If so, I think that i painted the quarry tiles years ago so would I need to remove the paint for adhesion. Also what would be the best adhesive to use?
first attempt at floor tiling

ive tiled over existing tiles in the past and the advice i had was to paint on PVA glue or UNibond (same stuff different bottles).
also i was told to remove or re-cement any of the old tiles which where lose or cracked.
i never had any problems with finished job!

I recommend scouring the paint off the tiles then making sure they are securely down
I used BAL FLEX Powder Adhesive , Brilliant stuff
