Grout is starting to come loose on porcelain tile floor
Anonymous user 31/10/2025 - 9:12 AM
Some of the grout is coming loose on my porcelain tile floor in my kitchen. I think one or two of the tiles are slightly loose. Can this be repaired, and how?
Are you a pro and able to answer this question?

Yes if you have more of the same tile. Now why your grout is cracking is the question. This is usually caused by a flex in the subfloor below the tiles . So yes you can remove the old tiles but it will happen again unless you address the underlying issues.

Definitely need to remove the tiles and when you install new ones to install the first underlayment (like Uncoupling Membrane DITRA )
