We use It's (about) time + Past tense to talk about something you should have done in the past but you didn't do it in that time. (It is almost too late.)
- It's about time he got a haircut. (Your hair is too long. You should have cut it 3 weeks ago, then you should get a haircut now.)
- It's about time you paid me. (It's 2 month late and you haven't paid me so far, you should pay me right now.)
- It's about time I started learning English.
- It's about time we had a break.
- It's about time you cleaned your shoes.
Note: We don't have to put about in the sentences
It's time he got a haircut.
It's time we had a break.
It's time he got a haircut.

Let's see the difference between It's time and It's about time.
- It's time for you to wash your car. (Your car is a bit dirty, you should wash it right now.)
