Ask a Tradesman. Best Answer. You can tile over the current tiles, and as another tradesman has stated please check the tiles are sound and not loose as this would cause problems later. Should they be loose, remove these and level the hole/gap to match the existing tiles, either with bonding/tile adhesive.
Tiling over a fireplace surround that already has tile attached is easier than you might think. Years ago, most people would tear out the old tile and replace it with the new. Nowadays, it is quite possible to tile over the old tile and avoid the time and money of cleanup and backerboard installation.
