Flooring – Sealing Pet Odor on Balcony Floor

flooringpatio

We recently purchased a condo that used to be a rental unit and balcony reeks of pet urine. I cannot completely tell the type of material used for the flooring but it looks like it’s epoxy sand or small pebble that has been paved over the plywood.

To hide or mask the smell, I was thinking about going over it with Kilz primer and then installing tiling over it. However, I wasn’t sure if primer could be used over this type of surface.

Would this proposed idea work for hiding the smell or would I run into issues with the primer adhering to this surface?

In my experience there is no product that either removes or seals in pet (or other) urine. the only solution that I've found is to remove ALL the contaminated materials and replace them.
