You don't need a hole lot to get this job done. Most of these tools you probably have in your home. If not its relatively inexpensive and can be purchased at your local hardware store.
1st Remove the grout.
2. Tape off the broken or damaged tile.
3. Loosen the tile from the surface with a drill.
4. Once the tile is fully removed scrape away the excess thin set or mastic.
5. Apply thin set and the replacement tile. Allow 4 to 6 hours for the tile to set.
6. Grout the area.
7. Wipe away any excess grout. And You have successfully replaced a broken tile. AND I bet it only took you about 30 minutes ;)
