Comments on Home Repair : How to Replace Cracked Tile
this is a crap example of how to replace a tile. The grout you are scraping out is wet, there is an exposed edge to the tile you remove and you are hitting the tile once. You need to show a real example, it is never this easy and you are full of it!
What about putting sealer on the new grout? Hmm, looks like he never answers the questions here. Not good.
good video alot easier with a demo hammer though.
I did a 1000 square feet of tile in my house. First time ever. Good video. Never needed to repair tile YET. But I will one day. Thanks.
great seems simple:)
thank you very much looks very easy the way you show it.
I’ve layed full tile floors/showers etc but never have I replaced just one broken tile in the middle of a floor. Would it be okay to use my 4″ angle grinder and diamond blade to cut the grout out or is the handy dandy grout scraper a must?? I have 3 tile to replace in my g/f’s pet hospital this week so any help would be appreciated…thanks
he dont have to, expert village already did that clip.
thanks.
Hey , do you wipe it off right after with water or wait a little longer for the grout to sink in?
Thanks. good video.
is this guy frank mir ?
Just replaced 3 tiles after watching this vid. I had to hit them with the hammer more than once but it was easy.
I think if we use adhesive then our tile level may be went uneven. because a true layer of thin set is required for grip.
why dont you do it yourself..if ur better
che colla di merda
My question would be why not use a construction adhesive with a new tile without chipping out the old thinset?
eau9999, I’ve pulled up tile that’s been set for 5 years that pulled up easier than the one on the video. Most of the time if you’re replacing a tile its because its already cracked and coming up anyway. This video is more about demonstrating, not showing a real life situation.
This is not a real life situation. You need to make a real video with a real floor. You are giving the wrong messege. Why don’t you make a video with a floor thats been set for a year and break a tile in the middle of the room. This vid is BULL.
that look’s pretty easy
Excellent! Thank you.
cheers pal!
You’re hire! I live in NH!
Thanks for this video. Really appreciate the step by step scenes while you explain! You should have your own show! Real pro!
