How do I replace one square of creamic tile on kitchen floor

KrysFL on Jul 10, 2013To my knowledge its impossible to remove without breaking it up. Take a hammer and lightly tap, chisel out all grout / mortar that remains so that area is clean. Then mortar, lay new tile, grout, seal.Helpful Reply

KrysFL on Jul 10, 2013But if you think it's completely detached from te mortar underneath, you can delicately chisel out the grout lines and try to pry up the tile. You will still have to remove all the old mortar and then follow instructions I put above.Helpful Reply

Z on Jul 11, 2013I agree with Krys. We recently had to remove a couple tiles when we bought a new dishwasher as they are just enough taller now that we couldn't install it without removing a couple tiles. It was a bit time consuming, but you'd never know now they'd been removed and replaced. Good Luck!Helpful Reply
