Agree that finding a staggering or completely dumped tile in your favorite bathroom or kitchen – there is little pleasant. Moreover, according to the law of meanness (in the civilized world it is still customary to dignify Murphy) the only collapsed tile will be from the most prominent place! And your gaze will simply slide through the whole sparkling and smooth splendor, and at the clumsy opening – linger for a long time.
What useful tips for women can be given in a similar situation?
You can do, as they say, with little blood – try to glue the tiles back using epoxy or similar glue with it. Here are just the disadvantages of such advice – a few. Firstly, the tile should be whole (you are not a designer on your own wall collect!) Secondly, if the emergency tile was closed unevenly, it will be possible to tear it back only with a piece of wall (epoxy is a powerful thing!) Thirdly, where one fell out – the other can fly out, so, figuratively speaking, you will have to put a patch for the patch.
It is more reasonable to do with such a trouble like this:
1. Take a tile next to the dumped tiles – even an inexperienced person will understand the sound whether there are voids there, and the vibration will tell you about this. You may have to remove a few tiles – but it is better to do it yourself than to wait for a night rumble or fright your own child who washed the dish is true?
2. It is not in vain to buy materials with a margin during repair – including for such extreme provisions. However, if the tiles are unreliable to remove it yourself, the probability of damage is minimal.
3. You need to plant a tile on a cement mortar – good now is not a problem to buy it in a dry form and in convenient packaging. The remains of the old solution from the tile try to neatly beat off. Before use, be sure to soak the tile for a couple of minutes, and moisturize the wall – at least a spray gun for watering indoor plants, but abundantly.
4. Putting gloves in your hands, press the tile with the solution to the seat. It is necessary to keep the tiles at least 30 – 40 for the solution so that the solution grabs. Excess cement mixture crawling through the seams can be removed later.
5. In the next day, try not to touch the restored tile, so that it becomes a monolithic part of the entire ideal wall again!
