Flooring is by no means beneath me, but I haven’t really done anything below a shoe molding. So question for the tile high club: What would you do in the pictured situation? These are floor sections that have always felt a bit “squishy”. Today they finally popped up into the tent formation you see here.
Wait for it to settle and then add glue to keep it down? Cut it to fit?
Additional context:
I did not do this install myself, so the history is a bit of a mystery. This is installed in a full bathroom and is made of what feels like a smoothed slate material. I believe it is a composite tile.
More photos for context:
My brother don't, spin your head. Those are run off the mill homedepot porcelain/ceramic tile. Go to the home depot and ask for a bag of tile cement./ mortar. They will give you what you need. Get a bucket too. Put a bit of the cement into the bucket and add a bit of water mix until it's got the consistency of mashed potatoes that need a bit more milk but your gona serve them any ways because you already put the milk away. Now butter up the floor with the cement mix and dampen with a cloth the back of tile. Butter the tile too. Don't be shy put a good bloob on the floor and spread it. Set the first tile down and smash It down until it's level with the rest. If it's to high and won't seat, slooooooowly and carefully pry up the tile with a wide tool. Don't force it you run the risk of braking the tile. Scrape some cement of and try again. Put about the same amount pf the cement on the second tile and set it down. Wipe up the extra/mess and wait 24hrs.
There is just not enough cement making actual contact with those tiles to begin with. Yeah you could re do the floors and "do it right" or for like 20$ and 3hrs fucking about you can have the floor back to what it was and it will probably last a good long time any ways.
Edit also you should probably chisle out a bunch of the old cement that was under the tile that will help with better adhesion. When the new stuff goes down.
