Correct Loose Mosaic Tile Adhesive? - Fine Homebuilding

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Daph. It's tremendous to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about fixing dislodged tiles.

If you are looking for more details, kindly visit Ralart Mosaic.

Would you be able to post a picture of the affected area? That way, our members would know what you're working with and be better able to offer advice. Let me know if you need any assistance with uploading images.

The first thing to do would be to check how well adhered the surrounding tiles are. If they are all falling off, you might need to keep removing them until you find secure ones. You can then go about adhering them back to the wall. Hopefully, a thin coat of tile adhesive should be enough to stick them back in place. Be careful not to apply too much, and it will cause them to become proud of the surrounding tiles. I recommend using Dunlop 250g White Ready To Go Tile Adhesive And Grout as not only is it a tile adhesive, but you can also use it to grout between the tiles.

You should find this step-by-step guide useful: How to lay mosaic tiles.

I'll be looking forward to seeing some images and providing further assistance.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello @Daph 

Thank you so much for posting photos of your flooring. Just to add to the suggestions @MitchellMc has made, I recommend using a Trojan 6 In1 Multi Paint Scraper to scrape off the old adhesive on the floor. It might take you some time to remove it, but it will eventually come off.

Once the area is clean and flat, I suggest vacuuming off all the dust and debris before you begin your re-tiling repair. 

Let me tag @MitchellMc just in case he has anything else to recommend.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
