Tiling over existing tiles is a great way to update your bathroom or any other room with tired old tiles without the expense or hassle of having to rip up all your old tiles.
Sometimes, the simplest approach is best. Go Rustic With Wood. Give Glamour With Tin. Warm Up With Beadboard. Apply a moderate amount of construction adhesive onto the underside of the strip, using the putty knife or a wooden stick.
Position the strip face up at the doorway and align the outer edge at the edge of the adjacent flooring outside the room. Hang the door on the hinges using the original hinge pins.
Tap the pins fully into place with the hammer. In bathrooms, enlist a plumber to remove a toilet and reset it after the tiles are installed. Use the toilet flange as a guide to mark and cut tiles around the flange. The base of a wall is not always uniform. Most installers use the chalk line as the controlling guide because baseboard will cover any irregularities along the base of a wall.
Use a drywall knife to lift up a tile that doesn't fit uniformly or to remove a filler tile that may not be accurately cut to size. Remove the existing baseboard methodically if it will be reinstalled. Alternatively, use a miter box and fine-tooth handsaw to cut new baseboard for the room. Install saved or new baseboard with 6d finish nails at inch intervals from end to end on each piece. Apply strips of 2-inch-wide masking tape on the floor where it meets the baseboard before painting the baseboard.

No matter how firm the subfloor; the plywood will expand and contract at a different rate as the tile, causing cracks to develop in the grout lines or tiles over time.
Exterior plywood is an acceptable underlayment for tile and is preferred to interior-grade plywoods because the bonding adhesives used are waterproof. If water seeps through the tile installation to the underlayment, it will not cause the wood to swell, as happens with interior-grade plywood.
The plywood surface will then be the surface to be tiled. This is why it is better to prime it than not to. Alternatively, mix a few drops of dish detergent in water to clean the floor. Maximum stability.
