Ask a Tradesman. Best Answer. You can tile over the current tiles, and as another tradesman has stated please check the tiles are sound and not loose as this would cause problems later. Should they be loose, remove these and level the hole/gap to match the existing tiles, either with bonding/tile adhesive.
To tile over an existing floor, it must be flat, solid, and well bonded to the sub-floor. The floor and subfloor should be at least 1-1/8 thick for good support. If your existing flooring is cushioned vinyl or linoleum, you can either remove it or cover it with a proper underlayment. You can install tile over tile as long as it's level and in good condition. You may have to roughen the surface of tile if it's too glossy.
