Small Repairs You Can Do Yourself

Problem: Broken Tile

Solution: Remove the grout around the tile with a grout saw, a small tool available for a few dollars at paint and hardware stores. If a tile has already started to chip, continue to break off little pieces and remove the entire damaged tile. If not, make a hole in the center with a masonry drill, which will break the tile, and remove the pieces from the center outward. Glue the new tile in place with an adhesive such as Liquid Nails, then apply fresh grout around the edges.
