I have a loose bathroom floor tile.

The tile in question makes a cracking noise if you stand on it. I've watched the video, the problem is, I have electric underfloor heating ! There is a good chance I will cut through a wire upon drilling ? If I limit the depth of drilling, to the thickness of the tile, will this process still work ?

  • As removing the tiles could potentially cause more damage to the underfloor heating My Answer would have been…… Fix-a-floor is compatible with underfloor heating as it won’t suppress the flow of heat under the floor. Any repair work undertaken with underfloor heating involved needs to be carefully executed. I would advise drilling only to the depth of the tile itself to create a void in which to insert the adhesive. You will need to still drill the four holes at the intersection of the tiles but extra care should be taken due to the presence of underfloor heating. If unsure it would be advisable to seek further advice from the underfloor heating installation engineer who installed your system. By A.C - Birmingham - 17 July 2015

    Although this may be possible we would advise against it as there is a high chance of damaging your underfloor heating. In this case we would suggest you actually have the tile removed but that may also damage the wiring so seek professional advice from a tiler.
