ok i have stuck it down using the adhesive but im not sure i used enough . Im tempted to get some quotes for removing all the tiles, putting plyboard down and putting the tiles back on. Its a very small bathroom and i dont need new tiles. and i have about 4kg of adhesive now 🙁
If i am to get quotes then should i say that this is what i want the tiler to do ? id be more impressed by a tiler who would say that plywood needs to be put down above the chipboard first as i would assume they were more knowledgable and experienced
I'd be happier if the tiler said he was going to use a proper tile backer board rather than ply. Looking at the tile that came up you could probably save yourself some money by lifting the rest yourself and cleaning up the old adhesive.
Soaking tiles in a soapy solution has helped me in the past when I've had to rescue tiles ,normally 24 hours does the trick,then a bladed scraper to remove any stubborn addy from the back of tiles.

Still at student stage, myself so, this a searching question.
The tiles are fixed to a chipboard, which, from my roofing days, I noticed had many problems. Sagging was a major one.
Otherwise, given the amount of movement chipboard has both as a whole board or, indeed, in local areas, would you say that the very tight bond of the tiles only increases the problem of lift?
job looks wrong, chipboard is a no no, for a quick fix use a flexible Silicon, regrout hope for the best. If other tiles come loose then its a floor up job and hopefully done right next time.
Sorry for the confusion, John and, the late response.
First, my comment was to answer the problem with chipboard in my experience while a roofer.
The phrase' searching question' was way off mark. What I meant by that is, I'm not a experienced tiler and that, tilers may have a different opinion on chipboard, that, I may learn something regarding tiling and chipboard.
