How To Repair a Loose Tile - Fix A Floor 

Awesome! Thanks for this! We just moved into a house with gray tile exactly like this and no extras! Can’t wait to fix those two dang loose tiles.

A quick, clean and easy solution to one of those otherwise difficult and messy jobs. Good work!

As a petit single female homeowner I really appreciate a workable Solutions such as these! The idea of taking up the grout and resetting 16 inch tiles is not my idea of a good time. I found this to be a very doable and workable solution! I subscribed because you provide realistic solutions that fit my world!

Thank you it’s sad to say your the only person who tells us what they use to fix the floor

Thanks this was very helpful and hit all the issues I am facing.

I'm going to use this on my next tile repair. cheers mate!

Great tips. I’ll definitely be following your channel.

Tried this technique and it worked very well... it was well worth the effort of using a hand-held grout saw to get down into the grout and then gently using a chisel to push grout which was cracked or crumbling out of the grooves. I didn't pound anything to get it out. I did drill a few fairly small 1/16" holes along the bottom edge at an angle under the tile I thought I might open one of the thinset channels under the tile I filled the gap between tiles about 3/4 full of the Fix a Floor liquid and within about 3 hours it had all settled under the tile. Very little was left on top of the thinset exposed in between the tile where I'd removed the grout.

Great explanation and video of the technique!!!

We love to see our guns being put to good use! Keep up the good work!

This is a great idea!!Thanks for sharing.

one of my bath tile is loose and planning to follow the same procedure as in video. Not sure if i can drill between grout and damage rest of the tiles.

I was just going down my comments page and saw your's from two months ago where you said you subbed. Sorry it took me so long to come check out your channel. :) Subbed

That looks like a cool product very nice and detailed video thank you for sharing.

Subscribed and liked. We have the exact situation going on, thank you for explaining the process clearly and concise

Nice, good to know!

This is a great repair. I have never tried this product (and hope I will never have to) but great tip to know! I just added you to my suggested channel list by gong to customize channel and and clicking on the pencil icon near your featured channels list.

Great advice brother 👌

Thanks for this video. I had a similar tile floor installed with very thin grout lines and was not sure how to get the product down into it. I will give this a shot now.

Great repair!

Thanks for watching everyone and if you found this video helpful I would appreciate you subscribing and following me as I take you though many more helpful and fun videos in the future. You can buy Fix A Floor here.. amzn.to/2vgwoFf

I have used this product before with success. I had larger grout lines that I felt comfortable drilling. Your application was more difficult. Great Work.

I did same as you, scraped out the grout first. Instead of fix a floor I just used a liquid cement crack filler. I was considering using elmers glue as well but never tried.. might work as well. I used the "stone mason" brand crack filler and I did so because I remember when filling cracks the stuff settles and you have to fill the crack many times before its ready. So I did the same thing and filled the void about 10x full before it was done. Now that it dried it is solid in that area.. will do on several other areas where there is a huge void.

Thanks for the tips

Good product used it a few times.

Great video!

I can bet it's a good product, the thing is if you have much more than one tile one can end up with a lot of floating in an entire room. I am almost certain that if the product is evenly applied to the back of the tile and the surface of the replaced tile can maintain the elevation throughput the entire area it Will be an excellent job.

Thanks for sharing this video

Great product I used it for tiles of 80x80cm . you have to work slowly with patience. In the clip it takes 8 minutes but it takes 1 hour for great result I will be happy if the product will be in ISRAEL המוצר מצויין לא צריך להביא רצף שיזור אותך במחיר כל אחד יכול לעשות את זה, מתאים יופי לקרמיקה בכל גודל

let ask you is it the same procedure doing the granite tiles

thank you for posting this. I have the exact same problem, brand new floor and a half dozen plank tiles are lose. For me some of the grout is already missing

Thank you!

Good video, subscribed!

Hmmm. From the video, I couldn’t really see any glue going in at all. I have a similar situation where I was about to regrout several large porcelain floor tiles but didn’t see how the glue could seep in without pressure. So even though it was not visually clear, you did see the glue go in? Thanks!

Works better if you drill. Get a smaller drill bit that is slightly larger than the smallest cut mark of the tip. Drilling allows you to fit the soft plastic tip in the hole with a tight seal and force the material similar to how they raise settled concrete with a pump. When I done this, I was able to pump a lot of glue in. So, surely travelled to places where there was no thinset.

In your After shot, still seeing movement. Does this require a second application?

Love this video, easy, simple,detailed, and perfect. Thank u!

Good job

I was really hoping to not break or remove the entire tile to fix this. Awesome tutorial, thank you.

have used this product extensively..it works, but if your tiles were not done correctly, including the subfloor.. you will continue have problems..Flannel guy, have you ever drilled through a floor tile, for a hollow space in the middle..any ideas on how to drill through stone tiles..?

Will this product work on shower wall tiles?

Can we use that on wall tiles?

I have used and it does work.

Nice video. I am in a similar situation and I'm wondering why you didn't choose to use a drill bit that is small enough to fit between the tiles?

won't elmers glue or super glue work just as well?

You only covered the ends of the tile, what if the problem is at the middle (of the tile)?

The best thing to do is to remove that loosen tiles gently and apply a paste for best result. I did in the house of my sis. I will buy this Fix a floor.

I have used this stuff in a number of places and it's rare that it ever works the way it shows in their videos (drill a hole on one side of the tile and a hole on the other side of the tile... stuff flows through from one hole to the other - my suspicion is that for the marketing video, they lifted the tile, cleaned out pathways for flow and then regrounted before starting the video... just my guess). that said, I was able to pump enough in that I felt it was more secure than it was before and I called it good. I'm not an experienced tile repair person by any stretch-- is it totally inadvisable to lift the tile and use this stuff? does something always crumble off or shift slightly under the tile and block a clean reset? I saw bassman's question and for sure if you need a hammer to get it out and you have not one more tile then you're not going to go that route but the tiles I've used this stuff with would lift at least a little by gripping with your finger nails and lifting slightly.... thought about using a small flatblade screwdriver on one, prying it a bit and shooting the stuff under there with just the smallest gap I could manage... chickened out as I was concerned some of thinset would crumble and the tile would not go all the way back down. was the grout line too tight for a grout cutter?

Will this product work if say, I have about dozen loose tiles in the same area of the floor?

If the space between tiles is very small, can I use a syringe? I am afraid of drilling because I have heated floor and I'm not sure where the pipes are located. Thank you!

Imagine lifting the cloth in the morning to find dried solid excess glue that was pushed through the cracks to the surface with the weight of the cinder blocks. 😱

Nice job. Do you think laying a multi tool on top of it while it is turned on and just laying it there would vibrate the glue down a little more? Just a thought.

Will this stuff work if the actual movement is coming from the wooden floor beneath the tile?

Can I use the product on the heated floor?

Hey thanks for this Ive fixed 3 total plank tiles with this method. Anyone seeing this, this can be avoided big time if the installer uses large format tile thinset, way more expensive but doesn't leave voids behind as it cures and shrinks.

Is it available in India

Does the glue also help keep the insects like house ant away? coz they are causing the problem with my house tiles.

Can this be used on wall tiles in a bathroom?

Oh wow I had no clue you could do this

Still holding up? Does the product harden or stay flexible? Good video.

If grout line is big enough best way to do it is drill a hole on one side with an outlet on the other and push it in

From where I will get this product

How is the fix a floor holding up ?

What the brand name l am from a carribbean country. They know what iam asking for when trying to get it to purchased

@ 2:46 honestly made me jump

How about in wall

where it could be bought?.

How much does it costs in India

How much it cost

After the fix a floor is dry, can I apply sanded grout over it?

Is this still the best way to fix loose tile? Could someone do a video on how to drill the holes and how deep to drill? It almost seems like drilling 4 holes around a tile the glue wouldn't travel around like in the commercial lol

Hmm, didnt you have extra tiles? With the grout out you could have just removed the tile. A multi tool with a carbide rasp would get all the thinset out and even if the tile didnt come up clean a few hits with a hammer you could have got it out. My guess is they came loose in the first place from using a tile leveling system and not enough thinset

About how much of that 10 ounce tube did you use?

what kind of tile is that? looks like composite wood floor if so it is not supposed to be grouted

How is it holding up?

These are called tiles?

Seems like something like liquid nails would do the same job

Isn't this just pva glue?

Use a thinner drill

Ok you defeated the purpose of the injection by pulling out the grout

It is sounds same

I thought I heard the tile still moving?

Isn't this just a half decent PVA Glue?

I thought the point of this product was to 'find' the cavity through the drill holes, rather than pretty much regrout it with a very expensive filler product?

I make a custom machine that injects a material under the surface of the floor and self levels if anyone’s interested. I may make a RU-vid video.

That's not going to work. What you are aiming to do is have limited input points the injector is sealing against so as to force the glue to find routes right under the tile. When done properly the glue will emerge from a separate hole.

I don’t see this working.. just pop the dam tile and scrape and reset or drill in use the syringe but even that is questionable.

I hate this dept not what I want to do there no MEN around

I see you ended up chipping the tile next to it with the knife. I also noticed that after the 24 hours of dry time when you put the towel down, you attempted to touch up the chip with wrong color of touch up so we wouldn't notice it. You should have drilled it, less chance of chipping if using correct size but. That material needs the small hole and higher pressure to get the glue under the tile. You would have gotten safer, better ending results by drilling it.

What a load.of rubbish, if the tile is hollow in the middle ,how can the glue run into it with all the set adhesive in the way.

Used it. Just as well to use flour and water. Total waste of time and money

Nope, you are working more and using too much product just because of you are very insecure. Only driling a small hole is needed at the sides of the tile AS THE INSTRUCTIONS SAYS. You need to work a great deal with your self esteem and your self confidence man!!

This crap is junk ..its very messy..I ended up just redoing the loose tiles

This is the absolute worst tile repair. All you did was glue the tile on the edges instead of fixing the actual problem of the thinset not adhering to the back of the tile.

Time wasting and not at all practical
