Breaking the tile: Let’s break the tile using a cold chisel and a hammer (We should be careful not to damage the surrounding tiles). We advise
for all to wear safey glasses during this procedure.

Putting the tile on: Let’s push the tile into the wall for it to firmly settle on. Then we should knock it using a rubber mallet.After the tile
is settled on the wall let’s place the spacers in between the tile joints. Then we should check if there is any existing slopes
between the broken tile and the other tiles by measuring with a level. Once the mortar dries (Drying time is 24 hours), let’s
take out the spacers using a regular screwdriver or any other pointy ended object. Then we should wipe the area with a dry
cloth, and fill the tile joints with the prepared grout diagonally in sweeping motions using a rubber grout float. When the
grout is dry we should clean the surface using a wet sponge.
