You may need to trim doors etc..., to get them to open over new tile. Removing ceramic tile, is not hard thing to do. It might be tiring, but doesnt take long. You can rent hand tools that will make quick work of a tiled floor. It really is best to get rid the original tile.

You will only create more problems for yourself if you do not take up the old tile. It is not that difficult to remove the old tiles. All you need is a hammer & chisel or screwdriver.

Clean to remove soap scum and other residue. Rinse well and let the floor dry before installing tiles.
