I attempted to use grout to fix my broken tile floor five years ago. But a year later, I noticed that it continued to crack.

For your reference, I have included the detailed process on how to fill in tile gaps that I witnessed him using below. 

How to Fill Tile Gaps?

• Mark the Area

I watched him begin by using a pencil to mark the tile area that needed to be filled. To fill up the larger gaps more precisely he outlined them. However, he made a few marks throughout the region for the smaller gap. 

• Clean the Area

He then removed all of the dirt and debris from that area using sandpaper.

• White Cement Preparation

Then he poured the required amount of white cement into the mixing container and combined it with water.

• Filling of Gaps

He proceeded by simply pouring the paste into the gap to seal it. He pushed it in with a putty knife.

• Dry the Surface

He finally left that surface for ten to fifteen minutes to let it get dried. Using a little putty knife, he scraped out the excess to smooth the surface. 

When I asked how to fill floor tile gap on my own, he told me that I could use caulk or silicone tile gap filler. It will help to maintain the overall appearance and have a durable finish for my tiles. I hope this answer helps you understand how to fill gap in tiles.
