Shoutout to the guy at the hardware store who saved my bathroom floor

I was trying to replace a cracked tile in my shower last Tuesday and chipped the subfloor with the chisel, creating a small hole near the drain. The guy at the Ace Hardware on 5th told me to mix up some quick-setting hydraulic cement to patch it before I laid the new tile, which actually worked perfectly. Has anyone else had to fix a messed up subfloor like that, or did I just get lucky?

Got lucky for sure. My attempt at that would have ended with a much bigger hole and a call to my insurance company.

My last DIY project cost me three new doors and a serious talk with my wife. I'm basically banned from using power tools now.
