How To Replace a Broken Floor Tile 02

Kitchen And Bathroom Renovation : How To Replace a Broken Floor Tile 02

THE PROJECT

1. In a pail, mix the thin-set according to the manufacturer’s instructions.


2. With the short end of the notched trowel, spread the mortar along the back of the replacement tile. Don’t go all the way to the edges. Spread the mortar on the floor as well.
3. Place buttered tile (a tile with thin-set mortar on the back side) into the space, being sure to leave equal spacing all around it.
4. Tap the tile gently with a rubber mallet so that the tile is level and flush with the surrounding tiles.
5. Wipe away any mortar that may have oozed out with a wet rag.
6. Let it dry for 24 hours.


7. When it’s completely dry, grout it with matching grout color.
