Q: Can I tile over the existing tiles in my bathroom?

• <div><p>Yes, you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-tile-over-tile.htm">can tile over tile</a>. However, the original tiling job must be clean, flat, and free of damage, such as mold or mildew. Removing existing tiles is time-consuming and expensive, so it might make sense to skip this step.</p><p>Remember that when you tile over an existing layer, your walls or floor will get that much taller, so it might not work, depending on your door height.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to tile a shower?

• <div><p>Most professional shower tile installations take between six and eight hours, depending on the size and complexity. Most projects get completed in a single workday. DIY-ing the project takes around three to four days or roughly 16 hours. However, this will vary based on the skill level of the person completing the work.</p></div>

Q: Should grout be lighter or darker than the tile?

• <div><p>The grout shade you choose comes down to personal taste and preference. A darker grout will give you a more dramatic and noticeable contrast with the tile around it; however, lighter grout helps create a more uniform look when blending the colors together. Additionally, a darker grout combined with a patterned tile could be overwhelming to the eye, while lighter grout makes the pattern stand out as the main focus.</p></div>

Q: What is the hardest tile to install?

• <div><p>Glass tiles are among the most difficult to install. This is because their transparency makes the adhesive visible, and any imperfections on the opposite side are also likely to be visible. Glass tiles also must be handled carefully during installation, as they are prone to scratching. For these reasons, glass tiles often require professional installation to get the most out of their beauty and unique look.</p></div>

Q: What should you avoid with porcelain tiles?

• <div><p>When cleaning porcelain tiles, avoid products that contain ammonia, bleach, and other harsh chemicals. Acid-based cleansers can damage the tile, though you can clean them with a diluted mixture of one-quarter cup white vinegar mixed with one gallon of hot water. It is important always to use a soft-bristled brush or sponge, since hard bristles and steel wool can scratch the tile.</p></div>
