Replace a Tile

 

Are you living with a cracked or broken tile? Don't, it's easy to replace and you can do it yourself.

 

 

1. Remove the old tile. Wear protective eye gear, and use an old screwdriver to chip out the grout around the tile. When all of the grout is out, gently tap a chisel into the tile with a hammer. Continue this until you can pry away the old tile and scrape out the adhesive.

2. Spread a thin layer of tile adhesive onto the back of the new tile, and then press it into place. Make sure that you scrape up any excess adhesive that squishes out and wipe it off the tile. Allow the adhesive to dry overnight.

3. Carefully fill the joints with grout. Make sure that you press the grout firmly in place and that you fill any gaps. Smooth the grout so that it blends evenly with the surrounding grout lines and use a cloth to wipe away any excess. After the grout begins to dry, you can use another dry cloth to buff away any hazy residue.
