        "text": "Professionals aim for a seamless match by first attempting to use leftover tiles from the original installation. If no spares are available, they will try to source tiles from the same manufacturer and dye lot, if possible, although this can be challenging for older installations. They consider the wear and fading of existing tiles and might suggest replacing tiles in a less conspicuous area to use those as replacements, then installing the new, slightly mismatched tiles in the hidden spot. Skillful regrouting and careful installation techniques also help blend the new tile with the old.",
