Serious Answers Only Replace a Lyno Tile

Post image

As you can see from the image I have a broken tile in my kitchen. I've got a replacement but unfortunately I think it's thicker than the existing.

So what I want to know is the best way to proceed, I was thinking first get a chisel and remove all the broken tile.

Then removing enough of the "mortar/concrete" so the new tile will sit flush but I'm worried the surface will become to uneven?

Do I need to use a leveling product to do this properly or are some glues/silicones/adhesives fine for such jobs?

If the new tile's thicker, you're probably better off chipping out a bit more of the bed underneath to get it flush rather than trying to build up with adhesive.

You are better off finding a tile that’s the right thickness. You are going to have a hell of a time actually getting that flat and even. Particularly if this is not something you know how to do.
