Hi folks...

Had a call out a couple of weeks ago to a leaking from an enquire shower. Turns out they have tiled 600 x 300 porcelain tiles over nice shiny white ceramic tiles!

The owners want a simple fix and don't want it all taking out, so I've managed to get the bottom row of tiles off and clean them all, so now need to get them back on the wall.

I know you 'can' tiles over tiles, but it's not something I've ever done before.

Could someone suggest how best to get them back on? Any prep on ceramic tiles?? Any adhesive better than another to use?

Thanks all 👍🏻

Clean tile and use ‘mapei eco prim grip’ or prim grip plus, don’t use ANY ready mix tubbed gear to stick that size porcelain, I’d recommend something like ‘bal flex one’ or rapid flex if you’re in a hurry.
