Q: Can you install tile over tile?

• <div><p>You can technically install tile over tile, but we don&rsquo;t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn&rsquo;t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don&rsquo;t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.</p><p>If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.</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: Does ceramic tile need to be sealed?

• <div><p>Glazed ceramic tiles don&rsquo;t need to be sealed because the glazing already offers some protection against moisture. Unglazed ceramic tiles need to be sealed to keep the porous tile safe from moisture and staining. However, both types of tile can benefit from sealing. Sealant can make the tiles easier to keep clean and offer more resistance to water, spills, and stains.</p></div>

Q: Can I install or repair tile myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for small projects. Professional services ensure precision and long-lasting results.</p></div>

Q: How long can tile sit without grout?

• <div><p>You can let the tile sit without grout. Don&rsquo;t panic if there&rsquo;s a delay between installing the tiles and grouting. A substantial stoppage isn't a problem, provided you keep the tile surface clear of dust and debris. Also, avoid walking over less stable ungrouted floor tiles as they are more prone to premature cracking and shifting. </p></div>
