because the water could seep through the joints between the new tiles and sit between the two layers and affect the seal and also raise the height of the floor and affect the slope to the waste outlets..but, why do you want to retile if you're not using the bathroom??...for immediate resale consider bathroom wall to wall bathroom carpet, new wall paint, new vanity, taps and light fittings which should also be cheaper than tiling over the top and, if it's not allowed by the body corporate, it will be a risk to future sales as it should not satisfy a proper building inspection

Hi there. I am looking for tiles to renovate my bathroom on very tight budget. Can you send me some photos with the size and how much are you after please? Thank you

The size of floor tile: 300 x 300 mm and the size of wall tile: 300 x 600mm The floor tile and wall tile do not align at all. It looks unprofessional. Should the tiler redo the job? Thanks for your advice.
