Bathroom needs a tidy up and a new shower cubicle. Anyone know whether it's possible/practical to get Karndean (OK, Project floors) tiles fitted if the new one isn't as big as the old one, or does it mean relaying the whole floor?

It is very easy to patch up a Karndean floor assuming you can still get matching tiles .

I am a Flooring fitter BTW

Hot air gun / paint stripper to get the old tiles up without damaging the floor underneath .

Wont the pressure sensitive adhisive be disturbed underneath breaking the "sheet" of adhisive underneath?? Best way would be to rip up, salvage what you can, clean with a degreaser and re screed i like to use instermac or mapai both 2part latex based, then use ardex ardurapid towards the edges just to make sure then use a pressure sensitive glue, narrow tooth trowel in curved strokes and re lay tiles, karndean is readily avl but depends what style, da vinci? Or another line, try and order the same batch numbers as color and tone can vary massively. I used to work for a karndean/gerflor/marmoleum specialist.

We had a damaged tile replaced in our kitchen (hot air gun as above) took about 10 minutes, we had a few of the tiles left over from the original job so colour matching wasn't an issue.
