The tile has to be replaced. Use a grout saw to cut the grout around the tile. Use a roto-zip with a tile cutting blade to cut the tile in 1" squares. Chip out the pieces with a chisel, and chisel the adhesive under the tile so it is flat. Use "Thinset" to install a new tile. Let dry for 24 hours, grout, let dry for 72, hours, then apply sealer. Be sure to use goggles when chipping!

No way to repair a broken or cracked tile. It must be removed and replaced. Be advised to remove a broken tile, it must be broken further so that it can be completely removed. And this puts the surrounding tiles at risk for becoming dislodged. Let a pro do the job.

In our case, once one tile broke, some of the other tiles started breaking. We redid our entire kitchen and were glad that we did.
