    Do you mean, ceramic tile over ceramic tile? If so, not a good idea. Please explain a little further.

    If u mean adding tile next to existing tile, would recommend using a tile that is larger or smaller then existing.

    Using tile that appears the same size will start to run off after a few lines. This will be true unless both existing and new tile are the same manufacturer.

    If adding above existing tile and want to use same size tile(in appearance), install a decorative strip tile first then new tile.

    If need info on wall prep, let use know were the area is and we can help u.
