Yup - great product. I had several hollow tiles I kind of just ignored ... until one more appeared just recently and wife said fix em. Googled hollow tiles, found this. Follow these directions - perfect repair. EASY. Great product.

[@theinspiredgardener6434]

I just bought a condo with tile throughout. There are loose tiles everywhere. The thought of removing and replacing the floor was causing me not to sleep at night. I found this video and decided to try Fix a Floor. This stuff works! Yes it’s thin and messy, but it gets the job done.

[@donnamaco1]

Did you do it yourself or get help?

[@theinspiredgardener6434]

@@donnamaco1 I did it myself , but be prepared, the glue is very thin and it gets everywhere. I made several holes around the loose tile, but never saw the glue coming out of the adjacent holes. That being said, the tiles still adhered after I added the weights and let dry overnight. I’m sure this is a temporary fix, so far it’s been a few months, I don’t expect years though. Give it a try.🤗

[@ansonette1704]

I there. I just want to say that i did enjoy this video very much. Although i"m residing in South Africa and i could not find that product "fix a floor" around here. I used a product called Anchor crete and i then just followed your idea of drilling the holes as you showed in this video. You safed me a lot of time and money. Thanks again.

[@ranat5526]

I used clear silcon and it's worked perfectly!!

[@taurusalmighty3071]

Takealot stocks it. Just bought some, but it did not work for me

[@gbsamikeb]

worked like a charm on my tile floor. Every tile has trowel lines under it so the glue goes in the lines and voids. If you are not having any glue go under the tile floor you may not have drilled far enough down in the grout. Really was as simple as the video. total cost was $18 for me as opposed to hundreds having a professional do it

[@budrowe176]

Mike Brown Nothing more than a band-aide temporary fix. If even just one tile comes loose you can bet the entire floor is in the process of failing. That floor tile was installed improperly from the beginning.

[@wobblescs]

Does this work on wooden floors is it flexible?

[@phapnui]

@@budrowe176 One tile may have had insufficient grout used. Rest of floor may be good.

[@bigtrippy4970]

@Iv Art Mike you there buddy?

[@gedionsamuel2256]

@Bud Rowe Might be a true statement about an improperly installed floor failing. However there are circumstances where this is still a great solution rather than a band aid. For example we ran into a situation where a heavy hot water leak had caused the tiles near one side of the room close to the leak to eventually become loose. This perfectly fixed the problem. Has been good for years with no repeat loose tiles nor grout cracks.

[@wbriggs111]

I used regular concrete bond and a plastic bottle with a spout. Did about the same way and it made it solid again. My wife likes to roll around on a office chair in the kitchen and the places she goes to had that problem. I just poked a hole with a nail.

[@ccalvinau]

Is this stuff easy to remove if i do decide to replace my tile floor?

[@kostas---]

Oh well, how easy it looks in this video. The battery drill cut through the grout like butter. In my case my black & decker power drill was overheating and it wasn't even able to cut through the grout. I managed to get one hole on one side but under the grout there is an even stronger material (maybe the glue they used?) making my drills overheating and smoking! Anyway the grout was broken on a side where I managed to remove it and same for the under-material. I am not sure though my tiles have any space beneath for this glue to go in.

[@fastidolsportfishing3728]

Can you use this on tiles next to a toilet ? Or will it cause issues and work it’s way to the wax seal?

[@LiarNoseOnFire]

Hi ! Nice Video demonstration ! I had the same situation in two small areas in my newly laid porcelain tile 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 uncapped 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,,,,!!!

Real Picture Your floor is far from “perfect”. If you have loose tiles your floor was improperly installed and is now on its way to a overall and certain failure in time.

@@budrowe176 I have a few porcelain large 18x18 coming lose. It was installed property by someone with over 20 years experience and I had another tile guy coming to take a look and I was told the installation was perfect but due to the type of tile and the heated floor this happens. So, not always the fault of who installed but the combination of material and heated floor sometimes. I've just used the fix a floor today and will see how it will cure now. Hope it fix the problem.

[@gtob431]

I drilled several holes using the smaller 1/8 drill bit. Use caution not to move the head of the calk tip when your calking the glue in or the tip can break. Right now I have the weights on it will see if this tile firms up. Even if it only lasts a year it buys me time if from tearing up the whole floor. Get a good installation and make sure your installer screws the cement board not nail it or you'll end up like me having to use this stuff.

If Fix-A-Floor seeps up through the grout it means the grout is already getting loose and tiles surrounding will eventually become hollow and loose. Fix-A-Floor will rebond those hollow and loose spots even in the grout. Cleans up easily with sponge and water and dries clear...

[@OutlawMustard22]

Does this solidify like if there is big gaps under the tile

[@matt134174]

I have many hollow spots in bathrooms with large 18x24 tile that's maybe 1/8" thick, but the grout line is so thin it's practically nonexistent. Could I drill directly into the tile and fill from the center? Does fill-a-tile raise cracked tile too?

[@PelaoyFamoso]

Curious if you managed to find a workaround. I have a similar situation and was thinking of using a razor blade to scrape out the grout and use a syringe to pump in the solution. Were you able to use fix a floor on your tiles?

+poisnivy1231 it's not grout..try regrouting your shower.

Regrout... If you have long term water damage, you need to rewall and retile. This will do nothing for water damaged underlying issues. Besides, you have to regrout after anyways.

So I tried to do this but drilling straight down doesn't open up the underside of the tile. I think there is grout that got pushed underneath. Either way I put this stuff in and it just comes back out. I've tried 4 different holes all where I hear hollowness near the edge. Any thoughts?

[@stevenpowell426]

Don't drill straight down, go at an angle then use a dental pick and feel around the hole you drilled, once you find the hollow spot then you can pump the material in, usually the grout keeps you from finding the hollow spot.

[@gsg7354]

What gets me is that without knowing they admit it can’t work. ( It levels out). So it loses any contact it may of had with the bottom of the tile as it levels out. For something like this to work it must expand to some degree to stay in contact with the tiles. And if your rely on the trowel makes to direct the product how I the world do you know where it will run? So many things wrong with this.
