A few weeks back, I noticed that one of the tiles in my kitchen was a bit loose. Since I wasn’t aware of how to repair loose floor tiles, I started doing some research around it. I learned that tile adhesive can be used to fix the issue. For that, you need to start by removing the grout from the tile. You can use a utility knife to remove the grout by scraping it. 

How to Fix Floor Tiles that are Loose?

While removing the tile, you need to be careful if you don't want to replace it. I broke my tile, and thus I needed to replace it. To replace it I tried to pry up the broken pieces of the tile. Here’s what you need to do next.

  • If there is any adhesive left under the tile, then use the utility knife to scrape off the old adhesive.

  • Next, clean the area to get rid of the dust and debris. 

  • Apply new adhesive in the tile area and a thin coat of adhesive to the back of the tile. 

  • Lay the new tile and press firmly. You can put a heavy object over the tile. 

  • Leave it for 48 hours to let it dry properly. 

  • Regrout the tile after it has dried completely.

And that’s how you can fix a loose tile. I hope you find this process helpful.

How to fix a loose floor tile without removing it: Step-by-step guide

  • Firstly drill the grout by the side of the tile. You should dig deep to allow the adhesive to get under the tile that is loose.

  • Put the spout of the epoxy or adhesive into the hole that you drill and squeeze some glue or epoxy into the hole.

  • Now you should let the epoxy or adhesive set under the tile. You should keep squeezing the material into the hole very slowly as long as the tile doesn't settle.

  • To remove the bubbles, keep some heavy objects. This will help to set the tile better.

  • After you set the tile tape a damp cloth and remove the extra adhesive or epoxy coming out of the hole.

  • After 24 hours you can remove the heavy object.

  • Place new grouts in the holes that you have drilled.

  • Clean everything once you have finished.
