At the end of summer I bought a small bistro table with two chairs at a "final sale" i.e. no returns. The top of the table appears to be some type of mosaic tiles. Unfortunately, I didn't notice until I got home that there's a crack down the middle of the table top. Now rain has gotten underneath the tiles along the crack, and the tiles are coming loose. Is there any way I can save the table?

You may be able to glue down the tiles again with construction adhesive you can get small tubes that you apply with a caulking gun. Then regrout, you can get premix unsanded grout as small as a pint containor.
Then if you are going to leve the piece out side I'd ask a few painters what they think would be the best to seal the top with...
...perhaps an acrylic based grout may be enough, (if you remove all of the existing & regrout) but that may be a large job without the proper tools.
Then if the wood below the tile is beyond repair you may need to toos that puppy or trnsfer all of the tile to a new substrate. That will have to be your call? Does the wood feel punky under the tiles?
