Hi Steve;

Tiles-on-tiles should be fine; the cement is self-levelling and "sticking"
shouldn't be a problem.

Ceramic tiles need more "looking after", but are extremely hard wearing -
mine have been down 20 years, and if I hadn't flooded them last year,
would
still be in near-perfect nick.

Thanks Tim.
I'm concerned that tile cement won't adhere properly to the old tiles, which
are made of a flexible material, like vinyl. The builder assures me they
will be fine.

The ceramic tiles we are considering, are printed, then hard-glazed on top
of that. I wondered if the glaze wears off, with chairs being moved about,
and dirty boots etc. walking over them.
