How to fill hole in floor
Options

Any advice welcome. Following a leak that penetrated under the floor tiles, it seems to have weakened a probably already weak floor. FYI the floor has underwater heating, though haven’t encountered any pipes thankfully. I have removed most of the loose material. Anyhow, what would you recommend I use to fill it? Don’t want to use the wrong thing. Many thanks,

What is underwater heating?0

Replace like for like ideally if you can identify what it is - will cause less issues with any stability/incompatibility in the future0

If that is a concrete floor after tiles have been removed.
Clean it up, grind off the high spots and remove all dust

Thanks all. Not flagstones. The edges of the tiles may give that impression. Yes, the underfloor heating works a treat. I’ll go with Primer and slc.0
