There is a lot of mess associated with remodeling your bathroom. But before discussing about how to tile your bathroom, you need to understand what is meant by tile over tile. It is a procedure in which you put a layer of radiant heating mats between your old and the new tile. Though it sounds very simple, the tile over tile requires a thorough planning.

Check for deflection:

Prior to installing a radiant heat mat over your old bathroom flooring, you need to check the floor for deflection. To do so you need to stand in the middle of your bathroom floor and jump with full force. In case the floor moves, there is a deflection problem. It is better to reinforce the sub-floor before installing tile over tile in such situation.

Get rid of the sinking feeling:

This is a very common problem many people face after installing tile over tile. The toilet and the bathtub seem to sink into the new floor. However, you can avoid this problem with some advance planning. You can easily remove the baseboard and get it reinstalled above your new flooring. Otherwise, you can also opt for purchasing a new baseboard tile.

You will also need to adjust the length of the bathroom door by installing a new threshold.
