You could risk water getting underneath the tiles, causing a significant fall off to the subfloor. This could make a DIY project into a costly job that requires a tradesman.

1. Tap the tile gently with a hammer and cover it with a towel. Instead, you are trying to remove the damaged tile. You should not hit any tiles that don’t require repair. Once the tile has cracked and become loose enough, you can lift it with a hammer or a knife. Remove the grout and adhesive from the damaged tile.

2. Different tiles require different adhesives, so make sure you have the right adhesive before you apply.

3. Place the replacement tile in the space left by the damaged tile. To avoid ridges, the replacement tile must sit at the same level as the original tiles. Use enough adhesive to bond the tile to the surface. Then, use pressure to bring it down to the desired level. You can remove any adhesive that has been displaced with a cloth. It is possible to remove the adhesive with a cloth, but if it sets it can leave a messy finish that will not be cleaned up when the grout is applied. Let the adhesive set for at most 24 hours, ensuring that it is free from water and traffic.

4. The grout should be applied to the gaps between the tiles. Use a damp sponge for buffing the grout after it has been set.

5. To prevent water from penetrating the grout and undoing all your hard work, apply a sealant.
