Take a look at some different options available for tile replacement.

Find a new tile that's similar to the one you removed.

For your new tiles, use the same method that you used to install them. Be careful to align them properly so they fit together perfectly.
Step 4 - Clean up
Be sure to vacuum up all crumbs and debris before applying the last layer.
