Large syringes (100ml or greater) may have a long and wide enough outlet
(without needle) and maybe you could force a tube of wide enough
diameter over the outlet. However you would still need a fairy running
mix that doesn't allow the water to separate (sand cement mix can be
problematical as the water is forced out first and then almost
immediately you are trying to inject dryish sand which will not compress
with the syringe plunger).


Thing is I'd need a 'needle' or tube from the syringe which is reasonably
rigid to direct the epoxy or whatever into the hole in the brick. And that
would likely mean steel, to fit through the hole in the tile, and have a
large enough flow.


You can get large syringe needles, certainly up to about 8G which is over 1/8"
ID. Should work with two part epoxy or cementitious tile glue.
