[Simmo]

Hi all
My name simmo , very little tiling experience but I did tile my kitchen floor about 4 years. However some tiles have cracked, and need replacing. The tiles are :
M402B
Mineral charcoal
Floor tiles
330x330.
We went back to B&Q but they don't seem to sell that type and the ones they do are the wrong colour/ shade
Any help/info is truly appreciated

Cheers

Would suggest some tris to discount tile warehouses who stock end of lines and old tile styles. However, ties do not just crack over time and you ought to determine why by have cracked. Dot and dab, poor substrate, movement etc. if you did it wrong four years ago fair enough, nowt to b embarrassed by and something to learn from. i do loads of diy and have made some right bang up mistakes over the years but is there any point in throwing good money after bad. Four years is practically a practically new floor for tiles after all.

Hi & welcome. You will be lucky to get the same tile 4 years down the line. Don't take this the wrong way but If your tiles were fitted correctly, the wouldn't be cracking all over the place. Replacing the individual tiles will not solve your problem. Either the wrong type of adhesive was used, substrate was incorrectly prepared or tiles were fitted incorrectly.

My advice would be to rip up & start again. Tiling is the easy bit, correct perpetration takes time.

Should you wish to go down this route, we would be more than happy to advise the correct preparation.
