Help!!!!!!! tile, vinyl question

[neepom]

When we moved we inherited a tiles kitchen floor, the tiles are mostly cracked now, we think we have a mixture of concrete and ply under them!!!!! we cannot afford to take them up and re-do the floor at the moment as this would involve removing the kitchen units as well but they look dreadful.
I would like to lay some vinyl as a temporary solution to just make it look better for a year or so but the tile outlines would show through, is there an underlay(not thick) that I could put down to solve this problem then lay the vinyl?????????
please give me some advice as my kitchen is very embarrasing at the moment

when you say tiles do you mean ceramic tiles? If so you need to uplift or if they are stable you will need to lay a smoothing compound over the top. Or something called jumpax which is a floating system the same as laminate that you install on top of. But for the cost of this system you may be better to just lay a laminate floor to keep costs down.

Yeah ceramic tiles. So I can just lay laminate over the top for now, that would be a fairly cheap solution, thanx
