[QUOTE="tfs, post: 600131"] Providing they are well bonded to the wall you can degrease the surface and use a suitable adhesive prefferably something along the lines of kerraquick rather than tubbed stuff. Its not ideal but it has been done before. As suggested already, I would try and talk the customer into removing all tiles and resheeting if required. In my experience the 150x150 tiles are not too bad to work with other than taking longer to fix due to the size. I have found them to be good for cheap tiles actualy in terms of equal sizing at least. It sounds like a cheap and nasty job to be perfectly honest mate, but every customer has thier own budget in mind. My advice to you would be to maintain integrity with your standard of fitting regardless of the tiles you are working with. The higher your standards are the better your reputation is going to be mate. There are many guys trying to multi trade just now, and too many are taking on tiling jobs out of there depth. Set yourself appart from these guys and do the job right and to the best of your abilty every time. That would be my advice to someone who is aiming to become a competent tiler. [/QUOTE]
