Hi If you have all these problems with the existing tiles on the floor the I would definitely remove these tiles before retiling the floor otherwise you will have more problems is the future, it's possible the new tiles will crack on top of the old tiles and if the old tiles are not level the new tiles won't be level, without applying a lot of adhesive. Hope this helps. Many thanks Howard Burns
