Repair floor tile by first diagnosing what is causing the damage. Here the failure results from a flexing 3/4-inch subfloor that pops the tiles loose--a minimum 1-inch substrate is required to support ceramic floor tile. We remove the debris and set fresh tiles in thinset mortar mixed with an acrylic or latex additive for a stronger bond.
