Learn2 Replace a Broken Tile
(Continued)
Shaping the tile (optional)
Is the old tile next to a plumbing fixture or on
a corner? If not, skip this step and read Step 4.
If the answer is yes, the tile needs to be cut or
shaped to fit.
- Use a tile nipper to make the
alteration. Start from the center of the tile
edge that you'll be shaping.
- Refer back frequently to the plumbing
fixture or corner piece for the correct
shape. If you remove too much, you'll have to
start over.
- Also, don't bite off more than you can
chew with the tile nipper. Many small
nibbles makes it easier on you and reduces the
chance of ruining the tile.
Once you have a good fit, smooth out any
rough edges with some sandpaper.
