Yes under some special conditions.. Tile down now must be clea, free of grease and any cleaning solution residue. Must be well bonded to what ever substrate its on now. Meaning no cracks and loose tile.
A special enhanced, modified thin set should be used.
No foot traffic on it for a minimum ( extra is better) 2 days. This allows the thin set to dry because moisture has no where to go and you don t want to break the bond between the 2 tiles.
It s always best to remove tile and start anew, but it isn t always possible.
Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar and check my qualifications there. GL
