chipped tile

Yeah, I think it's a bit of a mare trying to get a tile off a wall without chipping or cracking it. You'd have at least two chipped tiles to handle afterwards. 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 :laugh 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.
