There are various brands of self leveling products that can be applied
over the slab to fill in the dips. Go to a tile store, as opposed to
home center, and talk to an experienced employee.
Tiling should be considered a project that starts with the sub-floor
and ends with a sealer and cleaner. Different sizes and types of tile
will required different underlayments, adhesives, trowel notch size,
grout and grout spacing, etc.
While you might get lucky and find a home center employee that knows
his/her stuff, the odds are better that you'll get more complete
information and all of the correct materials from a tile shop. You
also have a better chance of having a person dedicated to your
project should you need help during the installation.
