Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostOnce you've taken out the old tiles and cleared the old grout etc, enough so the new tile can be placed initially below the level of the surrounding tiles, I'd put a generous dollop of glue all round in the space, but not right up to the edge. Then I'd lay a load of grout round the side of the gap, in contact with all the neighboring tiles, so that when you fit the replacement tile it's now slightly higher then the surrounding ones. You can then use a couple of planks of wood or metal set squares to gently press down on it, so the excess grout squelches out and the tile becomes level. In short, it's important to lay it slightly higher to start with, as you can always press it down but you can't raise a tile that is too low.

Tile adhesive is gungy but easy to remove from your skin.
Make sure you have more replacement tiles than you intend to remove because there is a chance you damage some in removing the cracked ones.My 12 year old is walking 26 miles for Cardiac Risk in the Young, you can sponsor him hereComment
