Could someone give me some advice please. I'm a landscaper by trade and have laid a few porcelain patios. Now I know interior tile is not the same but would like to have a go at my downstairs toilet floor.
House was built early 2000s I think its screed but could poss be the wet slurry with no cracks. Can I tile straight over after using a levelling compound and priming with sbr? Thanks

Have you got pics. You need to identify what it is really before folus can advise properly.

Does it need levelling .. how bumpy is it
Yes I'm going to self level it. Would the process be ?
1.sbr prime,
2.levelling compound,
3.sbr prime ,
4. Tile
No matt required.
How can I tell if its liquid screed?
Would this be an issue if it was?
Thanks

10mm trowel minimum and skim the back of the tile with https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/, if you've already got a 6mm trowel and don't want to get a new one, 6mm on the floor and 6mm on the back of the tile but it could be messy!
