Hi Lou, If you want to patch it, just glue it back in with epoxy. Otherwise cut the grout lines out around the tile with a diamond wheel, knock the tile out with a cold chisel and get a replacement step tread (about $2) from a tile shop. Glue it in with a little cement tile adhesive and grout.

Ahh! I see from one photo it is an overhang. You must replace the whole tile :(

Hi Lou, See the tile shop if you have one in Wagga. I only purchase adhesive in 20kg bags, so go with what they suggest for such a small amount. Good luck!
