Comments (1)Hello, Whilst we are only suppliers of flooring, we have picked up advice through years of being in the industry. Generally, it is not recommended to lay flooring on top of existing tiles - you don't know how they've been laid, how secure they are, if there's any underlying issues like damp which you've mentioned, etc etc. If there's no damp proofing, then you don't want to lay something over the top that isn't 'breathable' as this will stop any moisture escaping and can drive it into the walls, and then you're left with an even bigger problems! I think you can get breathable carpet nowadays, made of natural fibres that could work and are breathable, but you would have to be very careful choosing this, especially with underlay. We'd recommend getting a builder/fitter in to assess the floor and give an expert opinion about the best option going forward. Hope this helps a little bit.

Comments (7)Hi Vicky, We've just done our bathroom with patterned floor tile and a white metro tile. I think if you do a coloured grout it stops it from looking too public toilet-ish - we chose a light grey. I think the cream tiles are not quite right for your bathroom, and the light grey ones look a little blue-toned which I'm not sure would work. I don't think you'd have a problem with white looking odd against the beige in your floor tile as it is quite dark and therefore enough of a contrast. I'll post a couple of pics of our bathroom - we painted the walls in a light grey too. P.s. the subway tiles we chose were XL (30cm) and also matte finish for easy cleaning....See More
