Have a 30 year old ceramic tile shower floor (1" tiles). Somehow 1 tile came out un-noticed and has loosened others, resulting in 36 tiles that popped loose when pried. Subfloor is concrete and all mastic/thin-set has been removed. After everything dries thoroughly am I in for any problems by simply replacing the old tiles (all cleaned off)and re-grouting the whole floor?

If you have cleaned the tiles and the floor, sanded both to remove contminates, then clean both again, you should be fine.

Cermaic tile over dryloked concrete

on Mar 26, 2000

My basement concrete floor was dryloked. It was diluted and sprayed down. However it is not porous and water will bead up when spilled on it. Can I use thinset directly on it? or do I need to skincoat the floor first? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

tile on old countertops

on Mar 25, 2000

I want to lay ceramic tiles on my countertops which are covered with what looks like linoleum or something similar from the fifties. What do I have to do or use in order to tile over this material?
