Its simple and easy to use and can be done by anyone who can operate a drill, caulking gun and nix a small batch of grout.
Yes, Fix-A-Floor is ideal for use on underfloor heated areas. Although the underfloor heating is generally underneath the substrate, we suggest as a caution to mark the drill to the depth of the tile. Once Cured Fix-A-Floor dries with elastomeric properties meaning it will cope with any fluctuations in temperature and won’t supress any heat whilst maintaining a strong bond with your tiles. We suggest leaving the underfloorheating off for 24 hours prior to application and slightly longer after application to allow Fix-A-Floor to cure naturally.
The tip of each tube is suitable for 2-3mm holes or larger. If the gap in your grout-line is less than this you can apply Fix-A-Floor using one of our Syringe kits which has a smaller flat steel tip. You can either use a smaller drill to create access points or alternatively you can use a Stanley Knife to scrape out part of the grout.

Fix-A-Floor can generally take between 12-24 hours to cure but this can sometimes vary depending on the depth of Fix-A-Floor applied underneath your problematic area and also ambient temperature of the room. If Fix-A-Floor is taking a little longer than normal to cure there's nothing to be concerned about this may be due to deeper areas or room temperature.

Fix-A-Floor is predominantly for loose or hollow tiles on floors but we have had a lot of customers use it successfully on wall tiles too!! Please keep in mind that Fix-A-Floor is extremely fluid so, being on a vertical surface it will flow downwards and fill upwards so you may use a little more than normal depending on the gaps behind your tiles.
Fix-A-Floor is not recommended for areas with exposed to excessive moisture, It can be used in bathroom areas where the floor is water-sealed after application usually by grouting.

No, Fix-A-Floor most definitely is not a PVA Glue. PVA glues are predominantly used for wood applications and most certainly would not be suitable as a permanent repair for loose or hollow flooring. Fix-A-Floor is a specially formulated free-flowing high strength adhesive that cures with elastomeric properties not only ensuring a strong permanent bond with the substrate but also allows for any fluctuations in temperature or traffic on the floor above.
PREPARATION & APPLICATION
This all depends on the extent of the issue underneath your floor. Whilst each standard 300ml tube will cover approximately 4sq ft, the amount of Fix-A-Floor needed can vary dependent on the depth and size of the problem underneath the floor. Fix-A-Floor has been designed to be extremely fluid and will flow freely underneath the flooring to cover the entire void until it exits from one of the opposing holes drilled.
The tip of each bottle is 2-3 mm wide, although this can be cut to larger sizes if necessary. We suggest applying gentle pressure to enable Fix-A-Floor to exit from the tip of the tube. If you apply excessive pressure or if you don't have the tip of the bottle upright or vertical this can cause a buildup of pressure inside the tube resulting in wastage from the rear of the tube.
While filling Fix-A-Floor will usually come up and out of the other drilled holes. If this does not happen move to another hole and continue to fill, the adhesive is still travelling under the floor. If you see the adhesive coming back up out of the hole you are filling, be sure you are NOT pressing the tip of the tube down onto the sub floor.
No problem! Every Fix-A-Floor tube is supplied with a click-on cap that retains any unused adhesive inside. Fix-A-Floor has an extremely long shelf-life when stored at room temperature.
Yes Absolutely! Simply wash out the syringe kit with warm water after use and all good to go!
