grout & space
HI - I want to use this product to fix a small bathroom floor - the tiled area is only 2 square meters. All tiles are loose as I used the wrong tiling adhesive (should have used flex). All the grouting is loose or gone. I lifted one tile and the tiling adhesive basically nearly shows the pattern of the underside of the porcelain tiles, and there are no gaps for the adhesive to go. Question - I'd have to remove all loose grout & re-grout first right? Or best to remove grout, lift tiles, spread adhesive, place tile on top, then once dry re-grout? I.e. could i mark the tiles so i know where they go, lift them all, cover the area with fix a floor and settle tiles back on top and let dry? Or is re-grouting the better option? How many tubes would I need for that area? About 3?

Without removing the old brittle grout if you re fixed your tiles they could come away again. in this case we would suggest start again and remove all adhesive. You should use a flexible adhesive as this may not be thick enough to support and adjust the tiles correctly.
