There is a crack on the tiles from the above link photos. When I touch the cracked tile it feels loose. So what kind of filling if necessary would i need to put underneath the tile. Also around the tiles some of the filling has come out so what kind cream filling would i need for that? and about the crack is there anything i can put between it?

Re: Floor tiles need repairing need advice
Firstly the tile has cracked because there's movement in either the sub floor underneath or the tile hasn't enough adhesive under it. You won't know until the tile is up
To remedy the only correct way is to remove the tile, you will need a replacement, do you have a spare?
You'll need new tile adhesive and the "filling" around the edges is called grout. Take a piece with you to try and match the colour.
You'll have to dig out any loose grout too.
It may be easier to get a local handyman in to sort as they should have the right tools for the job.
