I have issue with crack walls and tile skirting popping out from wall. This is anbrick wall which i added to replace sliding glass door when i got the house 6 years back. I figured ill putty fill those crack walls but the tiles skirting have no idea what is the best way to fix. Is there any compound that i can apply on the crack lines without removing the tiles and re-cement and can sort of hold the tiles?
I do not have spare tiles of these anymore. I think i can easily pull out those tiles from the walls, but the tiles grout joint (cement) still sticking the tiles together firmly, so I'll have hard time putting very thin layer of cement and holding it if i were to pull ot out. Initially i thought it was just hairline crack where ill just putty the tile lining on top but it's moving.
This area is a low traffic area, so anything that can hold the tiles to wall with little quantity would work for me, please suggest. Best if something that can inject through the cracks and press it firmly back

Cant upload videos here, else video explain more details

Wait for it to drop off, otherwise there is chances of it breaking if you try to remove it no matter how careful.

I actually tempted to try this product, not sure how the viscosity is going to be and whether it can seep through the cracks

this should be exactly what you need.

Thanks, i guess the wall is not much of an issue either this Selly or any putty will do great job, more worried on the tile skirts

Managed to hack the skirting beads without breaking the tiles while awaiting the needle glue. Also patched the walls, hope everything goes smooth

When mine popped out, i carefully chipped away at the cemet and removed the whole thing. Did it very slowly to prevent the tile from breaking.
Chipped away harder at the remaining cement on the wall.
Then used rough grain sand paper to smooth the wall and the back of the tiles.
Used Sellys Liquid Nails to stick back the tile skirting to the wall.
Used white cement powder - make paste and seal the top. After dry, paint back.

Thanks for the tips, I'm trying to avoid taking it out as i notice the grout simen is holding all tiles together, if i hack it out, means i need remove the whole strip including the non pop out tiles as well, unless i have thin enough grinder to cut the grouts off, which will make a mess to living hall.
If the needle glue doesn't work later, this would be my last option, i still have a tube of liquid nails for that

If wanna remove, oscillating tool with flat blade (as attached to the tool pictured) such as

is the best bet. Grinder too harsh for separation work.

Else thinset mortar like this would be perfect since the tile not load bearing.

Material came, injected the solution and works like charm. Now kick skirting also no hollow sound. Patched the hacked seam with putty, paint back and job done.
Notr to whoever want try, pls make sure tape all joints and hole properly as the liquid flow out, mess to clean
