I've been tiling my bathroom and this morning I noticed that one of the tiles' crackle glaze has chipped off :oops: Can anyone advise what's the best way of removing a chipped tile to replace it?

You will need to drill a hole in the centre of the tile and then start to chip/break it out from the centre to work out to the outer edge.

Do not start from the edge or you will crack the tile next to it.

Give the tile a big smack in the middle with a hammer.
Tip is- stick some gaffer tape on the tile first. Less mess.
Then- pick away the bits.
