How to tell whether to repair or replace your tile.

If your tiles are tight to the floor. That means not physically loose. You can repair them with your EasyFix kit. If they are coming up away from the floor. Remove them and replace with new mortar. Get my kit.

How much product do I need?

We have done the math for you. First determine the size of the problem. Count the number of hollow tiles. ( A 12” x 12” inch tile needs 4 oz. of adhesive.) Once you know how many tiles simply approximate how many squares it would be and times the result by 4. Example: 4 tiles = 4 square feet =4 x 4 = 16 oz.

Do I need DIY experience?

No, in fact many of our clients have no experience at all. Everything comes in the kit . So you only need a cordless electric drill.

Can I drill between the grout lines?

Yes, but we do not recommend doing it because you may chip the outside edge of your tile. It may also require more adhesive in order for it to migrate to the area affected. Get my kit.
