  1. How do you prevent from tearing up the cement backer board with the tile when you chisel away at the tile and pull up on it? Whenever I've attempted to do this I've always had to cut out a section of the cement board also and replace it. That causes issues with tile height uniformity.

  2. We have moved into a house where about 3 kitchen tiles are cracked, we have found more of the same tiles left in the garden, so hoping to replace them. Don't know who originally laid the floor but the grouting it breaking up too!
    A repair will do until we have the money to redo the kitchen fully!

  3. Don't worry about the grout not matching. Get something called Grout Refresh or some other quality brand of grout paint and just paint all the grout (assuming it's not the entire first floor that is tiles lol). We used it on our brand new grout when it dried unevenly colored. Not only does the grout paint seal the grout making it super easy to clean but it allows you to change the grout color any time you want with not a lot of effort or cost.

    I will be replacing some tiles today and am not worried about the grout lines at all as I will apply a new grout paint to the whole kitchen. It's been 5 years since I did it before and it still looks brand new but I had made a custom color at that time which is why I need to do it all again with the new color I bought. Having said that if you need to do repair in the future and have leftover of the paint you used previously you may be able to just paint the new grout and not everything else.
