How to Replace Floor Tiles
More in Floors
Step 1: Remove the Damaged Tiles
With a chisel, remove any loose tiles around the focused area. Also remove any debris.
Step 2: Apply the Thin-Set
Make a small batch of thin-set, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then, apply it to the area.
Step 3: Place the Tiles
Back-butter each tile individually (image 1) and place them with a bit of pressure until they are level with the existing tiles (image 2).
Step 4: Remove Excess Thin-Set
Wipe excess thin-set off with a wet sponge. Gently push down the tiles one last time.
