I've a question on tiling if anyone is able to help. I'm currently facing some tiles with hollow-sound and feels like popping up. In fact, a few did pop-up last year, and decided to get a contractor to replace some of the tiles (did a bad job, but that's a story for another day).

So question is, should I only replace the few "hollow" sounding tiles (they're all 2x2 btw), and pray that nothing happens 1 year down the road? Or do a big renovation and replace ALL the tiles properly.

A third option will be to demolish all the tiles, get a contractor to resurface the flooring with normal cement and move to Vinyl floorings.

Option 1 : Cheaper (about RM 1.5k kaotim)

Option 2 : About RM 9k Chinese Contractor (and RM 4k Indon Contractor). Add RM 5k for tiles = RM 9k - 14k. this is where the big problem is... kitchen cabinet. I need to remove the cabinet (some parts of the hollow tiles sits below the cabinet) and no one wants to promise that I do not need to redo the cabinet.

Option 3 : No idea yet, but problem with kitchen cabinet will still be there. So cost of kitchen cabinet + xxxxxx.

Any suggestions?

It's made of plywood. Sitting on top of the old tiles, part of which is hollow as well. I think I have not much choice but to bite the bullet and redo everything, right?

Bro, that is a great idea and haven't thought of that. Question - is this common? Ie. having the bottom cabinet hanging like a wall cabinet. The bottom cabinets have a 2' depth and 8' in length (only the back and one end (not both) touches the wall), am not sure if the wall alone is able to support its weight.
