Extracted from the article "Preparing your bathroom to lay ceramic tiles"

When preparing the surfaces for a tile installation, you should consider the following tips.

Before you start working on the bathroom floor and/or walls, you will need to isolate the electric supply and water supply and restore them later on.

It would be advisable to arrange an alternative temporary electrical supply to the extraction fan, which will need to be on almost continuously. This is to make sure you are not breathing in all the dust, remember that tiling becomes dusty at some stages.

If your bathroom has no extraction fan, make sure you wear a mask, especially while cutting tiles.

While laying new tiles over old tiles is not always a problem, it is however a practice that I would not recommend. The truth is that to do it properly is probably a more expensive job than simply removing the old tiles. Getting rid of the old tiles is not a quick or easy job but the results will be well worth the effort.

Removing the old tiles used to be a backbreaking job. Now with power tools available, this can be done much quicker and easier than before. There is no need to buy these tools; nowadays you can find tool hire shops in every city. You can hire a hammer drill with a special chisel for a few bucks a day.

After removing all the old tiles and debris, check if the embedded plumbing, or electrical work need any changes or renovations. This is the time to do any maintenance work or repair if needed.
