Stick and go tiles

My bathroom needs updating really bad, the decor that is. But we discovered that the previous owner tiled over tiles. For all we know it may have 3 layers (knowing our luck).

I've stumbled across stick and go tiles and wanted peoples opinions. Basically its as it sounds, they stick over your tiles but are suitable for kitchen and bathrooms.

Do you think the price is reasonable, considering it just a case of stick them on??? No other cost involved of getting someone in to remove 2 layers of tiles and then re tile.

I just measured the wall that is from the bath to ceiling as we have a shower over the bath as well and that would cost me £180 (75inch high x 69 inch wide).

The rest of the tiles id require is like around the sink and toilet. Im not sure of the actual measurements of this yet.

So im just looking for people to advise how cost effective it would be.

    to be honest I got, marley sticky tiles from B&Q for my summer house- to go under my hottub. I paid £30 for 10 packs of 5 tiles as they were on the clearance. They have served us well. our local poundland has them sometimes as well. Always worked well for us. Price seems ok but you may be able to source out some bargains.
