I didn't tile this old bathroom but I'm cleaning it up, one tile is missing and needs to be almost half an inch forward to match the tiles around it. Can I use extra https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/? Or extra cement? Or something else like mortar? I really need to get this fixed. Any tips would be appreciated.

Hey Malcolm
Yes, you can use extra https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/, just make sure you prime the surface.

Thanks. Should I layer it and let the first layer dry? Or just use half an inch of https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ in one application?

Hi, would it be better to fill that entire space with a 1/2 inch of https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ and press a tile into it? Or should you start with the https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ a bit more in the middle of the tile and press it in until you get level with the other tiles?

Basically what would be the best way to apply it and get the amount and height right? I have quite a few similarly set old tiles that I really should start replacing and could use some advice to do this neatly. Thank you.
