sirs
any advice on repairing loose tiles without breaking or removing it. we already repaired a few by removing it first. removing the tiles would require breaking at least 1. sometimes more. nabubungi yung iba kasi.

my problem is we can no longer find a similar tiles of the same color (tonality). mukha na tuloy tagpi tagpi yung floor namin. i have tried to repair some by pouring very watery cement grout. talagang malabnaw para lang pumasok. some tiles however are really very close or almost connected to each other. kahit na yung very thin spatula di lulusot.

baka lang may alam kayong product that we can use. these are 60x60 granite tiles btw

hello guido first welcome to PHM look at this link http://www.pinoyhandyman.com/showthread.php?t=1709
that`s what i have done to my floor tiles salvaging the old tiles and replace a new tiles .. most of a granite tiles is made in china or taiwan but there is expensive tiles made in Italy ..check out at home depo or wilcom depo madami ka mapag pipilian well depend on your budget mine i got 60x 60 wort 299 / pc made in taiwan if you get local brand like mariwasa wala ata silang 60 x 60 na granite tiles i think ...buy the way much better use tiles adhesive bofix or ABC cement and better to use rubber mallet to compress tiles adhesive ....

Re: loose granite tiles

sir thanks for the reply. great diy skills. unfortunately di ko kaya yan. hehe

at the moment i'm looking for some liquid products that i can just inject on the tiles. actually a bosch dealer i
n makati offered me a waterlike epoxy that they use on structural conc. medyo mahal lang and per gallon ang bentahan. pag wala nko makuha baka yun na lang.
main issue to me is to not remove the tiles. hirap humanap kapareho tiles. kabago bagong bahay pa naman.
