How to replace outdoor tiles
Being exposed to the elements takes its toll on outdoor tiles, so it’s no surprise the odd tile works loose sometimes. Here’s how you can tackle the quick cover-up.
Gather your supplies Hammer; cold chisel; tile adhesive suitable for exterior use; notched adhesive spreader; outdoor tiles to match existing; tile cutter; tile wedges; outdoor tile grout; grout float
Here's how
Step 1 Using hammer and cold chisel, remove old adhesive. Brush clean to remove dust.
Step 2 Mix tile adhesive with water. Using notched adhesive spreader, apply to exposed area.
Step 3 Using tile cutter, cut tile to size if required. Press tile into adhesive so it aligns with adjacent tiles. Hold tile in position using tile wedges. Leave to dry.
STEP 4 Mix grout with water until you have a smooth consistency. Remove tile wedges. Using grout float, press grout into joins between tiles.
Step 5 Wipe off excess using a clean, damp sponge. Leave to dry.
