To get your damaged tile out, I would CAREFULLY cut through the grout surrounding the tile as much as possible first

@0:25 Aww, Why you have to spoil the fun Lowes. )You party pooper) I had my hammer ready.

Howard James I have my hammer out because I am definitely replacing my wall tile with fiberglass surrounding whenever I get my new shower installed

Good work

What if i wont replace the whole tile and il just retain a portion of it, lets say half of my tile on my sink top...what would be the best patch to it. Thanks

Risky way of doing this. First off, scratch out old grout with utility knife. If you don't, when you break your damage tile, the grout might stick to other tiles and chip the enamel. Rest of video is good. Happy tile changing.

You forgot about grout sealer.

[@TheMattriot]

you dont have to seal grout. Only in high mess areas, like back splashes
