Where would this one go (I suspect DIY)?
I want new tiles in my bathroom, do I tile over the existing ones or do I have to remove first?

That’s where I’d post it!
Due disclaimer that the above was just my opinion - I don’t consider myself to be the arbiter of what goes in what thread!

Having just removed tiles from a fully tiled bathroom, I'd say tile over if you can.
a) removing them is a massive pain, hugely time-consuming, noisy and dusty. I had 3 or 4 trips to the tip with many, many rubble sacks.
b) we then had to have it boarded out / replastered because the existing plasterboard/plaster beneath was trashed.
c) then I was able to tile.You may be lucky and the tiles come off cleanly, but equally it might well be a shit show afterwards!
