The brick is for sure settlement. Just chisel out and repoint.

The floor? Peel and stick on broken loose ceramic? Ya gotta wonder. You can leave for now if you don't mind walking on lumps but really it needs to be all taken out and LVP or ceramic tile put down. I would go with LVP.

Thanks skydiver, would you recommend chiseling out & repointing myself?

Yeah it was definitely a bit of a shocker after feeling those lumps under the tiles - will definitely get replace with LVP I think. Thanks again

Not real difficult. Hammer and cold chisel. Bag of mortar mix. Squeeze bag( like a cake decorators bag). Pointing trowel. The trick is to fill the gap flush without letting mortar spill onto the bricks. Let set for awhile then tool the joint to look like the others.
