Can someone please advise me? Has anyone tried it? Does anyone think it is possible to put concrete over tile countertops? I am on a tight budget due to the need for hard surface flooring also!! Help

Sure it is possible but not advisable in the least - better to remove the tile / backer-board & if the base is still good do a pour in place countertop. If not you would have to remove that also & start from scratch

Ardex make a concrete overlay product, that people have been using to to concrete overlay on counter-tops, tile, Formica, wood, and even granite. It has mixed reviews, I want to try it over my large special order cultured bathroom vanity top...still doing my research. Google concrete overlay counter-tops.

I have old ceramic tile counter tops in my kitchen. The grout was set too wide and turned varying shades of dirty. I used a grout filler that is designed to change the color. Then I used an epoxy designed for surfaces like tables and bars in restaurants. I have been pleased with the results.

if the tiles are well stuck down then you can just give them a rough up with a angle grinder to remove the gloss and scuff them up, then the cement will bond in.

Those ceramic tiles are more traditional than the modern concrete. That might be something to think about.

Ladan, I am no longer happy with the results. The epoxy surface stains if you look at it too hard and anything heavier than an ounce sticks after an hour or two. The epoxy was in the paint department, but I don't remember the name. The grout filler was a disappointment too. you might as well use paint, because it wares off just that quickly even with a fixer. I'd rather have the concrete.
