Hi Guys
This is my first post so please be gentle. First off I know this may be, on the face of it, a "stooopid question" but please read on and see that it is a quandry more than a "stoopid" question.
I have been asked by a customer to replace some tiles in a commercial kitchen that have broken and or come out. On inspection, these have been stuck down with some sort of adhesive that could even be silicone. The tiles have lifted or cracked in places and he is looking to get them repaired. It is a working kitchen that cant be shut down for more than a morning so I am going to have to get in, replace, grout and get out by 4pm which shouldnt be a problem using fast drying adhesives but therin lies the issue. If I use proppper tile adhesives they tiles are going to sit proud and produce a "trip hazard" and as most of the floor is already laid with the "sub standard" adhesive I am in a quandry what to do. I cant relay the whole thing so ....
1. Will gripfill spread over the whole back of the tile with a mosaic notch be suitable?
2. Is there a better option?
Your help is greatly appreciated!!
