New Life to Old Bathtub Surround. “Tile Over Tile” Yes You Can

My 4” white bathroom tile was in very good condition without any cracks or loose tiles. Boring! Couldn’t really afford a contractor to rip it out and replace. So I enhanced it with beautiful mother of pearl and glass mosaic centerpiece over the existing tile. I have before pictures but unfortunately I don’t have any during the process. Hopefully I can convey the process without pictures.

Same concept was used in my Master Shower, but did it like wainscoting

You don‘t have to have white tiles. Your old tile can be any size or color as long as they are in good condition, just coordinate with new tiles.
I did quite a bit of research on the web to see if you can tile over tile. Most sites said yes, but one suggested it wasn’t a good idea.
Mine has been done for 2 1/2 years. And its still perfect.
