problem being if sealed and you tile over it will seperate as the sealer is to stop penetration which a primer needs to do so you run a risk of failure so to do job right with no comebacks best to remove as tiling over sealers is the same as tiling over paint not recomended good luck:8:

sugar soap em down to remove old grease dirt and stuff, there is no need to prime at all unless they are very porus like cotta ?
