    Also, I had a few quotes from different fitters, some of them said I will need to latex the floor first, some of them said I only need to level the grout joint and prime, no need to latex, can I ask which one is better? My current floor is polished tiles, please photo attached. Thanks

    Whole thing needs a suitable screed over it

    Does screed means Latex? What does "prime" mean?

    Basically yeah or smoothing compound
    You either get water based or latex based.
    Primer is what goes down before the screed to help is bond and flow ofrom the screed.

    Van Gogh is very durable.., in my opinion, one of the better ranges..
    If you drag the fridge across a floor, it will scratch.., but general foot traffic is fine.

    If some fitters have said just fill the grout lines., steer clear of them..., as they appear clueless.
    As long as tiles are secure.., they'll need a degrease, prime and latex..
    (After floor moisture levels have been tested)
