Tile over tile means exactly what it says, but in this case you're going to sandwich a layer of radiant heating mats between the old and the new tile. Tile over tile is an easy way to avoid the mess associated with tearing up the old bathroom floor, but requires thorough planning.
Deflection:
Before you install a radiant heat mat over the old bathroom tile and install new tile over the mat, you should check the floor for deflection. This is the maximum amount the floor can move under the anticipated load (you). Ceramic tile is hard and will break or dislodge if the surface bends under the load. Here's a simple test:
Stand in the middle of the bathroom floor and jump up and down. If the floor moves it has a deflection problem and is not a good candidate for tile over tile installation until you reinforce the sub-floor.
Avoid That Sinking Feeling:
Since you're tiling over tile, you must plan in advance to avoid making the vanity, toilet and tub look like they're "sinking" into the new floor.
One way to keep the bathroom fixtures from looking swallowed up by the new floor is to remove the baseboard and reinstall it above the new tile. Better yet, why not buy new baseboard tile too?
In order to compensate for approximately 1/2" of additional floor height, plan on adjusting the length of the door(s) and possibly installing a new threshold.
Preparation:
Remove or re-attach broken tile pieces. If you remove them, wait until the floor has been sanded and thoroughly vacuumed before you fill the spaces with mortar.
If any of the tiles have cracks wider than 1/8", you should consider a crack isolation membrane. This membrane is a roll on product that you apply to the old tile. The membrane allows the new floor to move independently of the old.
Next, sand the old tile so the mortar has a good bonding surface. A belt sander would ensure a consistent bonding surface.
Please make sure you wear a face mask and safety glasses while sanding. The tiles may have been fired with toxic lead glaze.
After sanding, vacuum the tile and wipe down with an all purpose cleaner. Pay special attention to the areas untouched by the sander.
Installation:
Roll out the mats prefabricated to your specifications by the manufacturer. Some radiant systems, like Quickmat, are self-adhesive and require no mortar to secure them to the old tile floor.
If you're home has only one bathroom, cover the heating mats during inevitable interruptions with plywood or heavy cardboard.
Throughout the installation process, use a digital ohm meter to check the resistance of the heating mats. This will help you monitor the mats for short circuits.
Have your electrician connect the heating mats to the power source and install the thermostat. Depending on the local electrical inspection procedures, you might have to wait until the job is inspected before you start laying tile.
Trowel out the mortar over the mats. Some manufacturers recommend latex- modified or epoxy-modified mortar and grout instead of water-based multi-purpose adhesives. Mortar beds thicker than 3/8 inch should work fine for most systems; they just take slightly longer to heat up.
Since you won't be covering the entire floor with heating mats(under the toilet), make sure the mortar in these areas is level with the mortar covering the heating mats.
This might sound obvious, but don't bang the trowel on the mat to remove excess mortar from the trowel. This could sever the heating wire.
Finally, you can install the new tile and baseboard.
Fire It Up!
Your new radiant heated bathroom floor looks beautiful and you can't wait to get warm feet. Go ahead, but only for 10 minutes. Don't put the system into full operation until the mortar is fully cured. This can take up to four weeks.

Design with Adhesives in Mind
Review your challenge with the adhesive manufacturer. Due to the uniqueness of each application, there are no design standards or safety margin limits to aid designers working with adhesives. Very often there are multiple factors which can affect a bond such as chemical exposure, stress or load, heat or time. There are no calculations to prove that the adhesive will tolerate the conditions. Simple life estimation plots are generally inaccurate for adhesive purposes due to the large number of affecting factors that build upon each other.
To effectively design with adhesives, a designer considers the individual requirements and the effects those requirements have upon each other. For example, an adhesive may have good peel strength on the substrates used, resist from -30°C (-20°F) to 90°C (200°F) and resist a 10% chemical solution. But will it do all of these things at the same time? And how fast will the assembly transition from -30°C to 90°C be? Resisting a temperature continually is vastly different from the thermal shock of going from -30°C to 90°C instantly! And thermal shock effects vary dependent of the coefficients of thermal expansion of the substrates. Some factors create a negative effect and others may not. As such, do not expect the adhesive manufacturer to sanction your application as fool proof and infallible but do expect some guidance on which factors and conditions should be tested and considered.
Additionally keep the following design points in mind:
Types of Stresses
Adhesives work best in compression, shear and tensile. Many resist impact and vibration very well. The most challenging stress for most adhesives is peel or cleavage. To prove this to yourself, put a post it note on a piece of paper and try to pull it off the paper in shear stress, then try to peel it off. Keep that demo in mind when designing…avoid peel stress!
Surface Area
Consider also that strength is directly related to surface area. If you can design a tongue and groove joint, not only do you provide a good surface to dispense the adhesive into but you also multiple your bond area thus increasing strength and resistance to environmental factors. Similarly, a rough surface has more “area” than a smooth surface.
Gap
Unlike solvents, adhesives take up space. Gap -filling adhesives provide savings by reducing the need for accurate machining tolerances. Check the optimum gap -filling capability of the adhesive to ensure a good bond.
