        "text": "Replacing a broken tile is generally recommended when the tile has significant cracks, chips, or has completely fractured. While minor surface chips or hairline cracks might be suitable for repair with epoxy or colored caulk, a full replacement ensures structural integrity and a uniform appearance. Replacing a tile also prevents moisture intrusion through damaged areas, which can lead to larger issues like mold growth or subfloor damage. Your contractor can assess the damage and recommend the most effective solution based on the extent of the break and the tile's location.",
