How do you re-tile a fireplace surround?

Need to take off old 8"x8" ugly white tiles on the front of my fireplace and flat hearth. Can you give me some ideas how to remove old and add new!Sure appreciate it!
I have this issue and checked on line. I have had great results with peroxide and white paper towels. Use several layers of white paper towels and cut them to the shape of the stain. Spray the layers until wet, but not soaked or dripping. Put it carefully on the stain, matching the shape. Let it sit overnight. Respray if it gets dry but not sopping. Dry any over spray on the non-stained areas. Remove the next day and sprinkle with baking soda to completely dry if stain is removed. If not, repeat and then use the baking soda. It is not perfect, but if works amazingly well and it non toxic.

You can save it.
You have to sand it/refinish.
You can choose a darker stain or weather the sanded floor with a tea made from steel wool steeped 36 hours in white vinegar in a glass jar (strain it through a paper towel then wipe it on with a soft rag (like water popping, moist not wet or puddled and let it dry).
Moisture is difficult since it darkens wood.
Some people pay a lot for custom weathered floors, but pet rings are different = acidic (which is why vinegar steel wool stain would match it best).
Then, Bona HD once you like the weathered result (it is beautiful - neutral grey tones, natural grain enhanced).
Or, I’d call a professional.
