How best to Tile a room?

Hi chaps, long time no speak, after having all the trades in I've noticed some scratches on the floor, some tool marks and also the dreaded hairline crack on one of the tiles, it's an awkward position to replace, so I was wondering if there are any products you'd recommend to fill a crack/chip in tile?

After all the hard work I was fuming when I found out today
 
Good evening, is the crack on a cut tile, corner cut ? Unfortunately there isn't a lot you can do about it and it will get more visable as time goes on

Oh you're a bundle of joy Andy! 😛

To be honest, having looked again at what you've achieved, take a deep breath and change it.
You'll be much happier when you do, otherwise it'll drive you round the twist.
And no, there's no repair.
 
It is a cut corner tile, how'd you guess? It wasn't you was it? 😛

Is there a way to remove it easily with the tools I've got? I don't have a dremel,
 
It has ufh doesn't it, do you remember if there is any around or under that tile?
If there is, it just became a whole new ball game.
What about the latex build up in that area, much or not?
I don't remember, did you fit an anti fracture mat?

Experience!

It's vital that you remove all the grout surrounding the tile before trying to remove it other wise you will damage the tile next to it. You could use a Stanley knife, carefully!
 
Ok thanks, I'm thinking I might leave it for now, I have given the tile a really good clean and it's much less noticeable now there's no dirt in the crack.
