    You should really start a new thread for something so trivial as this one is dedicated to a serious matter.

    PZZ
    You know you can add that 'PZZ' as a signature so you don't have to type it each time right?

    Many Kind Regards,

But the good news is that once you've got one tile out, the rest (perhaps a dozen or more by this time) will be much easier to remove.
      Which is what you will then have to do Unfortunately some of the tiles are part behind the washbasin so that would have to come off too........ so a bit of plumbing, sealing, as well as tiling and painting.....

        If a chipped tile is your biggest worry count yourself lucky!

          Theoretically that line of reasoning could be applied to any situation short of the worst imaginable.... it could be worse, and perhaps it will be.

            There is always someone worse off than you, as they say in hospital (though maybe not when the sheet says nil by mouth and do not resuscitate).

              If you have time to theorise about my flippant comment, count yourself lucky!

                "Cheer up" they said "Things could get worse"....

                So I did.... and they did.

                    Had a similar situation when drilling through tiles to fit a shower a while ago.

                    Use tile adhesive or one of the other solutions and colour in any small gap at the cracked edge with a coloured felt pen. It will soak in and make the edge almost unnoticeable.
