Do you have height restrictions? As you could take up stone, clean rest best you can, prime and put down screed to give you a new floor to start with

Disagree now @Tom Astley ?

always. life would be boring otherwise.

maybe the op should have been clear in his original post instead of confusing one like in post #3

And maybe the measure of a true man is simply to admit when he is plain wrong

There is no tile height issue.

Just mulling over the pros and cons.

To take 90m2 up which is probably the belt and braces, does add a few thousand to the quote - lifting labour, SLC, new insulation matts, adhesive, etc.

Where as a good scrub with something like LTP Solvex, belt sand 40 grit and primed with Mapei Eco Prim I think should leave a well prepped surface.

It appears a very well tiled floor and has been down for 12 years with no issues.
