2. Tile Floor Conditions That Need Immediate Repair
Bulging (Hollow) Tiles
You’ll notice the tile surface bulging, with a hollow sound when tapped or an unusual sound when walking on it. This usually happens due to insufficient adhesive bonding, incorrect installation technique, or high moisture from the floor below. Left untreated, the tile will crack and become a safety hazard.
Peeling Tiles
Tiles peel due to low-quality adhesive, an incorrect mixing ratio, or the effects of moisture and poor drainage. This shows up as cracking at the tile edges, exposed adhesive underneath, or tiles lifting off the floor entirely.
Sunken or Cracked Flooring
Flooring sinks and cracks due to a weak subfloor, a deteriorating building structure, or heavy loads. It’s important to distinguish surface cracks (a cosmetic issue only) from structural cracks (which need immediate attention for safety).
Worn or Scratched Tiles
This is natural wear over time, especially in high-traffic areas like hallways and living rooms.
3. Causes of Tile Floor Damage
Material-Related Causes
- Low-quality tiles with no clear origin.
- Substandard adhesive/mortar with poor bonding strength.
- Powder-based grout that peels easily and isn’t waterproof.
- Mixing cement into the adhesive, which severely reduces bonding strength.
Installation-Related Causes
- Improper installation process, unskilled labor.
- Incorrect adhesive mixing ratio (the standard ratio is 3 parts adhesive to 1 part water).
- Uneven, poorly mixed mortar.
- Not applying the adhesive right after mixing (letting it sit too long causes it to lose its bonding strength).
- Not using a notched trowel to spread the adhesive evenly.
- Missing expansion joints between tiles (the standard gap is 2–3mm).
Environment-Related Causes
- High moisture, water seeping in from the floor below or rain leaks.
- Sudden temperature changes causing expansion and contraction.
- Poor drainage, with water sitting on the surface for a long time.
- A deteriorating building structure, with a sinking subfloor.
4. Risks of Delaying Tile Floor Repair
Putting off tile floor repair can lead to serious consequences. It causes a significant loss of aesthetics, affecting the overall living space and lowering your property’s value. It also raises the risk of trips and falls, which is especially dangerous for children and elderly family members. And the repair cost multiplies the longer you wait, as the damage spreads and starts affecting the structure beneath the tiles.
5. Detailed Repair Solutions From Sai Gon Home Repair 247
5.1. Fixing Bulging Tiles That Haven’t Cracked (Adhesive Injection Method)
This is the most cost-effective method when tiles are bulging but not yet cracked. Our professional 5-step process:
- Tap-test to locate the issue: A technician taps the entire area to precisely identify bulging tiles (by the hollow sound).
- Drill through the grout line: Drill small holes into the grout lines (never into the tile surface itself) to create injection points.
- Blow out the old mortar: Use a specialized air blower to thoroughly clean out the mortar and dust underneath.
- Inject specialized adhesive: Inject high-quality tile adhesive into the drilled holes at moderate pressure.
- Tap evenly and finish: Gently tap with a rubber mallet to spread the adhesive evenly, let it cure for 24 hours, then re-grout.
Installation time: 1–2 days. Cost: 150,000 – 250,000 VND/m². Warranty: 2 years.
5.2. Fixing Extensively Peeled or Cracked Tiles (Replacement Method)
When tiles are badly cracked or peeling, a full replacement is needed:
- Identify the scope: Mark all the damaged tiles that need replacing.
- Cut the grout lines: Use a specialized cutter to cleanly cut around the grout lines.
- Remove the old tiles: Carefully chip out the tiles without damaging surrounding ones (to a depth of 3–5cm).
- Clean the subfloor: Level and thoroughly clean the base surface.
- Reinforce the subfloor if needed: Use lightweight concrete or reinforcing cement if the base is found to be weak.
- Lay new tiles: Using specialized tile adhesive and the standard 96-point installation technique.
- Grout: After 24–48 hours, apply premium ceramic-grade grout to finish.
Installation time: 2–5 days depending on area. Cost: 200,000 – 500,000 VND/m² (tile cost not included).
5.3. Renewing the Adhesive and Grout Layer (Without Replacing Tiles)
Suitable when the tiles are a premium type that’s hard to match, or when you want to keep your existing tiles:
- Cut out all the old grout lines with a specialized cutter.
- Inspect the tiles overall and identify which ones are still in good condition.
- Inject premium specialized tile adhesive into the gaps.
- Re-grout the entire area with premium ceramic-grade grout.
Cost: 80,000 – 200,000 VND/m². Saves 30–50% compared to a full replacement.
5.4. Fixing Sunken and Cracked Flooring
The most serious case, requiring a thorough solution:
- Reinforce the subfloor with cement or specialized lightweight concrete.
- Fix the drainage system to prevent standing water.
- Fully waterproof the subfloor before laying new tiles.
- Lay tiles using the standard 96-point installation technique.
Cost: 250,000 – 500,000 VND/m² (including reinforcement materials).

9. Frequently Asked Questions
How long does tile floor repair take?
Installation time depends on the extent of the damage: 1–2 days for minor bulging, 2–5 days for a moderate tile replacement, and 5–10 days for replacing an entire large floor.
Do I need to move all my furniture out?
It’s best to move furniture out of the work area. For larger areas, Sai Gon Home Repair 247 can work section by section so you can keep living comfortably. We protect any remaining furniture with a specialized cover sheet.
Will the floor bulge again after the repair?
No, not if installed correctly with high-quality materials. Sai Gon Home Repair 247 offers a 2–3 year warranty, and if it bulges again due to a technical error on our part, we’ll fix it for free.
Can new tiles be laid over the old ones?
Yes, if the existing subfloor is still flat and solid. A premium specialized adhesive is required. This method saves significant cost and installation time.
Should I repair or fully replace the floor?
Repair when damage covers under 30% of the area, the tiles are premium, and it’s 30–50% cheaper than a full replacement. Replace fully when damage covers over 50% of the area or the tiles are many years old — more cost-effective long-term. Our technician will recommend the best option for your situation.
Do I need waterproofing?
Yes, if the cause is water seepage — especially important for bathrooms and rooftops. Sai Gon Home Repair 247 provides professional subfloor waterproofing at 180,000 – 350,000 VND/m², with a 2–3 year warranty.
How can I prevent tiles from bulging again?
Leave proper 2–3mm expansion joints, use high-quality adhesive and grout, follow the correct installation technique, mix at the correct 3:1 adhesive-to-water ratio, and address the root cause: waterproofing and good drainage.
10. Important Notes on Tile Floor Repair
Don’t Attempt a DIY Repair Without Experience
A DIY repair can easily damage surrounding tiles further, create a safety hazard when breaking up tile, and produce results that won’t last. Inconsistent workmanship can lead to poor, short-lived repairs, or even worse damage.
Identify the Root Cause Before Repairing
If the cause is water seepage, waterproofing must be done first; if the subfloor is weak, it must be reinforced. Fixing only the surface won’t solve the problem, and the tiles will fail again shortly after.
Don’t Mix Cement Into Tile Adhesive
Mixing cement into the adhesive severely reduces its bonding strength, and tiles are likely to bulge again within a few months.
Care Time After the Repair
Avoid walking on the floor for the first 24–48 hours, avoid wet cleaning for 3–7 days, and avoid letting water sit on the surface while the adhesive hasn’t fully cured.
