Hi guys I have one damaged floor tile to replace its on to a concrete floor and was wondering can I use floor tile cement for fixing on to wooden floors? Or would i have to go out and get some cement for fixing to concrete floors?

your question puzzles me, you ask about using floor tile adhesive on "wooden floors" than state if not you will buy some for concrete floors.
If you are tiling onto wood, you will need flexible adhesive, if you are tiling onto concrete and ordinary powdered adhesive will do
Sorry if i did not sound too clear I have to replace a broken tile onto a concrete floor, but only have adhesive to fix onto a wooden floor and was wondering could I get away using that. Or would i have to go out and buy a bag of adhesive for fixing to concrete floors?
Your best bet would be to look on the tin. It'll say if the adhesive is Ok to use on concrete. If it doesn't - take the hint!!
On the whole though you'll probably find that it'll do the job - may even be a bit of overkill as the flexibel adhesive is likely a better quality than a normal floor adhesive.
The only downside would be the potential for movement. The is a (very??) small chance that the new tile would move and the grout may crack due to the lack of movement in the surrounding tiles. But, I've got so say, that isn't something that I find unlikely and probably not worth considering.
Hope this helps.
