ᐅ Vinyl Flooring over Tiles: Surface Preparation

Hello everyone,
I would like to install vinyl flooring over my extremely unattractive, uneven tiles. I was told that the tiles need to be sanded down, skim-coated, filled, and treated in other ways before the vinyl flooring can be glued down. That sounds reasonable, but after seeing the price for all that work, I needed to sit down for a moment.
My question is – is all of that really necessary, or are there other options to reduce the amount of work involved?
I’m happy to pay for quality work, but not more than it’s actually worth.

Hi, could you provide the price for ground preparation? That would be great, as I am also considering this option instead of removing tiles. However, I would choose linoleum instead of vinyl, but the leveling compound would still be necessary. Thanks a lot!
