One of the few jobs the previous owners of the house didn't get too was
retiling the bathroom floors. They both still have the 1-inch square
mosaic tiles. Besides looking pretty dated, they take much care when
doing the other updates, so there's paint and old adhesive spattered
here and there.

From looking at it, I suppose the best idea is to remove the old tile
rather than laying on top of it. The subfloor is concrete. What's the
best way to get this sort of tile up?

How much would a pro charge for a job like this (ballpark, St. Louis)?
The bathroom isn't huge, I'd think that mostly it's going to be cutting
the toilet, pedestal sink and various corners. I'm thinking about 12x12
ceramic tiles in some sort of complementary shade.

I don't really have any experience laying tile, although I've seen it
on TV. If that Sarah on Bathroom Remodeling can do it, I should be able
to. I just have to figure out if it's worth the time for the money
saved.

Happy to hear any thoughts on the matter.
