The answer will probably be yes as long as the existing tile is firmly
attached and clean. As far as I know (I am a DYIer) you do not need a
special tile other than what is usually use for that application. You
will need a special/high-quality thinset to set the tiles.

I have an outdoor shopping center that has a water fountain 35 years
old. the ceramic tile inside the fountain has seen its finer days and
needs to replaced. The construction people say the tile is embeded
too firmly to be removed and that they only way to improve is to buy
tile designed to
be affixed over exisiting tile.

I don't know about such tiles. Does the method really work? Where
on the web can I find
vendors of this type of tile?
