How to fix crooked tiles if the glue is already dry

Sometimes defects associated with the curvature of tile laying are not detected immediately, but only after a certain time. And then the glue on which it lay, has completely dried out, which somewhat complicates the process of eliminating such errors.

If the tile was laid according to a specific order by other specialists, you can make a claim to them on the quality of the work performed and force them to redo everything. But an effective similar method will become if bumps are observed around the entire perimeter of the room, on the floor of which a poor-quality tile is laid.

Often, finishing materials are purchased with a small margin, including tiles. Therefore, if only certain sections of it are crookedly laid, it makes sense to carefully dismantle them so as not to disrupt the entire technology of the previous installation. And in place of the old tile, it is more practical to install a new one, but with the alignment of its entire structure.

The ability to make high-quality cosmetic repairs on their own will quickly eliminate the existing distortions on the floor after laying the tiles. Also, such actions will not require large financial costs for the acquisition of a large number of building materials.

To cope with the dismantling of an unusable tile, you should first moisten its seams, as well as remove the putty paste. In this case, the chisel is inserted between the seams and the ends of a separate tile section are tucked into it.

If there is no spare finishing material, then you can even re-install the tile after it is dismantled. But here you need to try so that when you remove it, do not damage the general structure mechanically.

To correct irregularities before re-laying tiles on problem areas, the master must make high-quality measurements. Only this way will make it possible to ensure accuracy in the implementation of finishing work.

But it is still important to understand that it is extremely difficult to achieve uniform installation of the floor tile if the screed was not prepared correctly and has significant distortions in its foundation. In such a situation, a comprehensive repair is required, which requires significantly more effort, as well as additional financial costs.

It is easiest to align the tile when re-laying using a special building level. Thanks to such a tool, the treated surface is obtained as even and attractive as possible for an external look.
