Can ceramic tiles be laid on ceramic tiles?

Answer:

It is always recommended that you do not go this route, but it is possible. You want to be sure that the old tile is secure and flat. If it is loose and uneven it will cause the new tile to crack or pop out. You can always lay down a sub-floor on top of the old tile to give the new tile floor a secure base.
