Lowe's Home Improvement runs a program called Aging in Place in which a group of Hero volunteers re-does four houses in dire need.

How To
How to replace a broken tile
Step 1: Take away the old tiles.
The tiles should be removed from the flooring and placed aside. These tiles will be useful later on, so you'll need to keep them intact. Note which pieces are missing or damaged to avoid having to search for replacements.
Step 2 – Choose New Tiles
Here are some options for tile repair.
-
Find a new tile that's similar to the one you removed.
-
To find the matching piece, use the measurements that you took while removing the tile. This will make it much easier to find the right size without measuring again.
-
Consider looking for colors, patterns, textures and sizes in a variety of shapes and colors.
-
Consider which grout you would like to use, if any. Some people prefer a certain color, others like to mix it up.
-
Choose a tile that resists moisture.
-
The final thing to consider is the location of the tile. It will save you time and money if you make sure there's enough space for the proper installation.
-
Once you've chosen your tile, order it online or call your local Lowe's store to place your order.
Step 3 – Install the new tiles.
Install your tiles using the same method you used before. 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.
This will prevent dirt and dust from settling into the cracks between the tiles that could cause mold.
Step 5 - Sand Down the Floor
Clean everything and sand the floor.
Step 6 - Finish Off
Apply the protective coatings once the floor is smooth. It's important to wait until this point because wet paint can stain the surface of the new tiles.
To help prevent stains, you could always use a product called 'damp-anddry' on your floors.
It won't solve every problem after your tiles are installed. Consider adding an anti slip coating to your protective layer if you have kids.
Remember to let the protective sealer remain on for several additional weeks before you move into your home.
