A step-by-step guide: How to use our floor repair kits
No matter if your floor tiles are squeaky, loose or hollow, our floor repair kit will get the job done. The best thing about it – it’s so easy to use!
Preparation
Gather the flooring repair kit and all other materials you might need. Locate your loose, squeaky or hollow tiles and find the grout lines that will need to be drilled. We recommend sectioning off the area that needs fixing with tape or chalk.
Drill the grout lines
Take an electric drill with a 2.5mm (or smaller) drill bit and drill holes – we recommend two to three – on the grout lines until you reach underneath the floor tiles (you can drill as many holes as you need in the grout, the trick is to locate those voids). Next, vacuum the debris from the drilling to ensure a clear entry point for the adhesive to enter. Depending on the size of your grout lines, you may have to use a smaller drill bit.
Application of adhesive
Pull off the cap and unscrew the tip of the adhesive tube. Cut the tip according to the size you require. If the hole is bigger than 1/8” then simply cut the tip to ensure a proper fit into the drilled hole. Load the adhesive tube into our quality 10:1 caulk gun and insert the tube end into the drilled hole. Slow and steady wins the race – go easy and gentle when using the caulk gun. Once you have provided enough adhesive underneath the floor tiles, the adhesive will begin to flow out of the holes. Now it’s time for the next step, the clean-up.
Cleaning up and allowing the adhesive to set
Reusable: Simply pop the cap back on the adhesive tube and save any you haven’t used for any future repairs.
Easy to clean: Just grab a damp cloth or sponge and wipe away adhesive that has exited the drilled holes.
Apply weight: We recommend using a bucket filled halfway with water, but any other substantial weight will work. Place the weight on the floor tile you have fixed and allow it to cure (harden) for 24 hours.
Regrout: The last step is to fill your grout holes with a matching colour grout which can be pressed into the holes with a finger. After 15 minutes, use a damp cloth or sponge to help blend the grout in and allow it to dry.
Congratulations! You’ve just successfully fixed your floor tile using our flooring repair kit.
Maintenance tips
Maintaining your floor on a regular basis will help not only to keep it looking good but also to ensure it last s without major issues.
Vacuum hard surfaces carefully: Hard floor materials, such as wood, laminate or vinyl, must be treated with care when vacuuming, as frequent hard knocks can easily damage your tiles, resulting in the need for floor repair kits.
Keep a constant temperature: Changes in temperature and humidity cause tiles and floorboards, especially in wood, to shrink and expand leading to gaps and cracks. This is where our wood floor repair kit can come in handy, but to prevent these issues, mitigate dramatic changes in temperature by using humidifiers and dehumidifiers.
Routinely cleaning floor tiles will keep them free from dust, dirt and other contaminants that lead to scratches and denting.
Lift, don’t drag furniture: Never drag furniture across the floor – always lift as the former will lead to damage.
Fix-A-Floor always aims to provide our customers with floor repair solutions for all types of tile materials.

FAQs
For loose or hollow wooden floors, use Fix-A-Floor Adhesive and our floor repair kit by drilling holes in the grout lines, and filling them with the adhesive. Once the area underneath the floor is full, the adhesive will flow out and need to be wiped away using a damp cloth or sponge. Then, add weight to the area while the adhesive cures for a minimum of 12 hours (we recommend 24). Once it has cured, fill the drilled holes with some matching wood filler and your loose wooden floor will be fixed and as good as new!
