Can I tile on this small piece of cement?

[darrenbgray]

Hi,

I have a doorway where a wooden floor will be meeting a tiled floor. As you can see from the picture the wooden floor is ok (or will be) and the bathroom floor has nice solid tiles which I will tile on. However there is a gap where I had a doorway fitted and I was planning on filling this with cement to be the same level as the bathroom floor. As it is only a small area I am sure it will crack, will this be ok if I have tiled on it using a flexible powdered adhesive?

Or is there something else I should use to fill the gap to raise the level?

A sand and cement bed will be fine there, Darren.....add a little PVA just to help it stick.

Thanks, i'll do that. Approx what ration should the sand, cement, water, PVA ratio be please?

Just make sure the brickwork is dust free, dampen it, brush on some PVA and then use a 3:1 sand / cement mix......it'll stick just fine.
