How can you fix cracked tiles?

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

It\\u2019s not that bad but will take some elbow grease.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

You\\u2019ll need the right tools and this might cost you $50-$75 but that money is well spent.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Remove the grout first from around the cracked tiles.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Apply blue painter\\u2019s tape to the border of the cracked tool.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Once the grout is removed apply blue tape to the center of the tile.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Drill three holes in a triangular shape into the center of the tile with a carbide drill bit.

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Then pound out the holes using a 1/4 cold chisel and hammer.
