I have a speck built home in Brisbane that's about 14 years old. The tiler tiled right up to the skirting board and left no room for expansion. It has cracked a few already and 50% of the tiles on the floor are drummy. I will be buying a BIG kit of this in the next few weeks and giving it a go for sure. Glad they have a product like this in Australia as most of these "easy fix " things are from the USA or UK. Good video guys and I will be in touch!!!
Seems like a great product. Have to say though,that sometimes an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as the old saying goes. Sometimes this happens because the tile job is old. Other times it happens because you used a crappy tile installer. It happened with granite tiles in my basement many years ago in my old house. We had a guy come in to install beautiful granite. We didn't use the basement a lot but hairline fractures started developing on their own. When I walked on the tile with high heels, I could hear how hollow many of them were. Thousands of dollars of tiles ruined. Sometimes it can also be that your cement base is uneven which will help the tiles crack unless your worker does a hell of a filling job with the glue. My ex actually used wonder board as a base for our upstairs because we couldn't do a mud job and over the years, maybe 2 tiles cracked. NONE loosened and they were ceramic which is more fragile than granite. Get references and try to look at work your installer has done because a job well done can last a lifetime and one poorly done will be one you have to repair or rip out. Good luck.
Hi ! Nice Video demonstration ! I had the same situation in two small areas in my newly laid porcelain floor in the Bathroom. I drilled in two places only so that the sealing liquid didn't come straight out of the adjacent hole instead spreading across the loose area underneath the tile. I used a Squeezy Bottle from a woman's Hair Dye Kit (cost nothing) and filled the Squeezy Bottle with Unibond Universal PVA. The Squeezy Bottle had/has a Screw Cap on the pointed end which was/is almost exactly the same size as the drill hole. The pointed end of the Squeezy Bottle was then inserted into the drilled hole and squeezed until the Unibond PVA started to ooze out of the other drill hole. Afterwards, a quick wipe with a moist sponge and job done. Left to set of for 24 hours then re-grout the small drill holes - virtually invisible repair,,,,!!!
great product but you need to show us you drilling through the tile, because sometimes i try to ensure that edges are guaranteed to have the thin set/concrete after i try to spread the concrete evenly.
my tile moved enough to crack the grout away. should I regrout before using this product? or will there be enough pressure to force the adhesive under the tile? thanks
Pues, puedes usar pegamento de madera resistente a la humedad. Funciona muy bien. Ahora quiero probar algún cemento que se disuelva bien y ver qué pasa. Saludos desde España para Colombia.
never really demonstrated any of the liquid actually going under the tile. it all came out the holes as soon as you started to put it in which means you probably should have drilled the center of the tile and scene if you could pump it under from the center. nonetheless then you didn't follow up and run your tongue over and show that it still wasn't Hollow because my guess is it was still Hollow underneath.
Blair, since making this video six years ago we've done a lot more work on the Stickit Tile repair Injection Kit including shooting some new videos which provide more detail. You can see latest instuctional video at the following link which demonstrates injection through a tile we placed on a glass panel so you can see the ahesive being injected from underneath the tile. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eF6mfhFF1UQ.html
