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.

I have seen tiles to stick over existing tiles advertised on the web, but I
would like to see them before buying.

"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
service saying 'time to put the kettle on'
