Designing Kitchens and Bathrooms - Cracked bathroom tile

I have been making small repairs in my bathroom, and have one remaining fix left that i'm nto sure what to do with!!

I have about 4 cracked tiles in my bathroom, 2 cracked badly from removing a toliet that was sealed to the tile -- the two others are small hairline type cracks which were in place before I bought the place. All of these tiles are not together.

Can anyone give me advice on how I can replace these individual cracked tiles? I would like to matcht he grout so you can not tell the tiles were replaced (as much as possible?)

Any advice -- since I have not laid tile before I think I should get someone to do this. What type of person should I look for, and what do you think the approximate cost would be?

Thanks!!

Something you said concerned me. You said you had hairline cracks in the tile. What kind of subfloor is there, slab or plywood?

If slab, then the cracks might have been from something falling on them. If the subfloor is plywood, there maybe to much movement in the floor and would cause new tile to crack.

If the tile is still available, you could probably repair this yourself.

You would start by digging out the grout around the affected tile, then with a tile scorer, make an X across the tile. Take a hammer and busted it out. Be careful not to damage surrounding tile.

If you don't feel confident, call a flooring specialist.

You're less likely to damage surrounding tiles if you use a grout saw, remove the grout around the effected tiles, use a side or angle grinder, with a dry cut tile blade, and cut the X in the tile, and then put the tip of a blue bar in the resulting void and pry the pieces out. Use a hammer to break it up if this doesn't work. The concern over what has caused this is valid. Properly installed tile is not effected by removing a toilet, caulk or no caulk. It will be interesting to know what you find under it.

Thanks for both of your responses: The subfloor should be plywood as this is a condo on the 4th floor of a very old building. The floors are not perfectly level, so it's possible that some of the hairline cracks were caused by this. The tiles that cracked around the toliet were broken when I had to remove the toliet - caulk or some type of glue was used on the entire bottom of the toliet, the forced required to break this bond caused a few tiles to crack.

I think working with a specialist for this project is probably going to be my best option. Thanks again for the help.

What do you mean by "working with a specialist"? If you mean hiring an installer to do it for you, OK, go for it. If, on the other hand, you mean getting an installer to look at it and advise you as to what to do, this is a do-it-yourself site and many of the advisers here are working professionals who volunteer their time and experience. Post a few pictures because you're already working with a specialist.
