Help!!!! Tiles falling off wall!

[Lily Swizzle]

Hello again lovely people. I've started re-tiling again and all was going well until I noticed a tile with a flaw in it which I put on the wall on Friday. There are 2 small spots on it which look like rust spots and won't clean off. The tile is in the second row up on the length of the bath side. I haven't grouted yet. Any ideas of an easy way of removing it so I can replace it without messing up the rest of the tiles? (seems to have stuck fast this time round!) See pics:

Here's where I'm up to so far.....



And here's the offending tile which sticks out like a sore thumb to me but other people probably wouldn't notice it.......



Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. x

Morning..

Just bop it with a hammer and then break out the small pieces... clean out the area and then re-fix another tile..

Make sure you wear PPE and dust sheet up anything that can scratch.(bath etc) if above that.

Seems to be where tiles have been rubbing together in the box...and as Dave says above

 

[Lily Swizzle]

Thanks for your quick reply Dave! I'm off down the shed to find the hammer.....

Put the flags out I've finished tiling the bathroom!!!!:hurray: Whooohooooo!!!! :hurray: I'd just like to say a big thank you to all you lovely tiling people who have helped me so much along the way. Big kisses for you all!! I don't know what I'd of done without you! Rest assured, I'll be back if I ever have any more tiling to do!! - just got to make a bath panel now with a door in it, find some grommets for the bath handle holes, and get the sink back on the wall. Happy days!!

Here's the pics anyway:
