Leveling parts of floor

[steveharr]

I have a large area of floor with 60's plastic type tiles that are about 2-3 mm thick all over the floor, some parts of a number of tiles have broken off and i want to fill all these holes with some sort of levelling compound.

What should I use to fill the holes? Floor leveling compound that can be used before tiling? or will it break up easily?

p.s. the floor will be covered afterwards so the look of the compound does not matter.

Do you mean vinyl floor tiles ?

 

[steveharr]

Yes vinyl floor tiles would be what I mean.

Sorry, I forgot to ask you if you're going to put ceramic tiles on top, if so, I think it best to removed the vinyl tiles first although some people don't, see this and click onto " 1.Tiling over existing floor coverings:"

No, I will be carpeting

body filler is your best bet quick and easy with a quick set and you can rub it down smooth

Surely any self respecting underlay would sort this out?
