Flooring is by no means beneath me, but I haven’t really done anything below a shoe molding. So question for the tile high club: What would you do in the pictured situation? These are floor sections that have always felt a bit “squishy”. Today they finally popped up into the tent formation you see here.

Wait for it to settle and then add glue to keep it down? Cut it to fit?

Additional context:

I did not do this install myself, so the history is a bit of a mystery. This is installed in a full bathroom and is made of what feels like a smoothed slate material. I believe it is a composite tile.

    Thank you for your comment. The imagery in your description is fantastic. I think I’m going to try my hand at this. What’s the worst that could happen?

      Theoretically, from flooding your home to burning it down.

      Realistically, the two tiles behind those two you reset pop up because they are now the weakest link. But it’s all good because you still have about 3/4 of a bag of cement left lying around somewhere.

      On the note of flooding, though. Dont flush the unused cement down the drain or toilet. Straight to garbage. You can save the bucket if you wish by scraping everything out into the trash. I’ve seen it when guys just dump it down the drain. Boy, that ends up being expensive bill. Full night of back to back lap dances at the good place probably be cheaper.
