You can stick any tiles over old ones if you want. Just degrease well,
and abrade the glaze a little with some coarse sand paper before tileing
like normal.


I guess so, but these ones are quite thin and cutable

I reckon a roll of tile effect lino and some NoNails would work out a lot
cheaper and quicker, and have no leaky joints.

If you like that sort of thing, of coarse.

"and we are proud to say that after many months of laboratory testing we now
fully endorse our range of STICK & GO TILES. "

I wonder what they thought of them /before/ the months of testing then?

Its a strange marketing claim really, given that companies always
endorse their own products.

Then again I know of one exception... ntl once described its dial up
