Hello,
In our bathroom and kitchen, the tiles are embedded directly onto the concrete stones.
If I only remove the tile, the concrete surface remains with holes and exposed areas.
If I remove the concrete as well, you can see the masonry underneath.
I would prefer not to re-tile over the existing surface because I want to redo everything from scratch.
Do I have to remove all the tiles along with the concrete? (That would be faster) Or should I only remove the tiles carefully without damaging the concrete?

Completely removing everything is definitely easier than just loosening the tile. Unfortunately, this also causes some small pieces of the stones to come off.
I have consulted a tile installer who would like to take a look.
In the bathroom, applying drywall would be suitable. In the kitchen, we really need every centimeter (0.39 inches).

In the bathroom, drywall paneling would work. In the kitchen, we really need every centimeter (0.4 inches)When removing the tiles and the mortar underneath, be careful not to apply too much force directly against the bricks. Otherwise, the bricks might loosen. This means working with the rotary hammer parallel to the wall, not at a 90-degree angle to the bricks.
