Hack Or Overlay?

[lindavw 0]

I have a simple Qn.

Bathroom to hack OR to overlay?

I have brought some contractors to my flat to be and some told me overlay the tiles but some tell me to hack and re-do the waterproof.

How to determine should i hack or overlay?

Thanks.

If the floor tiles have been there for more than 10 years then i will rather hack away and lay everything new.

Ya that's wat i think so too. My flat to be is 11yrs old.

My contractor told me if there isnt any leakage at the unit below then just overlay. cos hack and re-waterproofing it may even give u more leakage in the future.

Make me scare sia.

How true is that?

I had the same question when I was renovating my place. Overlaying is generally cheaper and less work, but you have to see whether your toilet ground level (after overlaying) is still lower than the outside ground level. This is important to ensure that water does not leak out easily when you wash the toilet floor.

Hope this helps some.

This is definately a very HELPFUL detail!

Thank you!
