I hate to be pedantic. But it also depends on which state you are in and if the floor is actually Common Property.
On the floor: Most floors will be Common Property but not all. Example: I own a city apartment that is two storey. The “mezzanine” floor (which has rooms including a laundry and bathroom) is not Common Property on the Plan of Subdivision and is not structural to the building. So – it’s my responsibility to repair and maintain.
On the tiles: In some states (eg Victoria), tiles, including original tiles, are considered a surface treatment and are an owner responsibility. It’s different in NSW.
