Default replacing single ceramic wall tile

Hi,

Recently a soap holder fell off my bathroom wall. I never used it so I am
not concerned about replacing it. It was stuck to the tile using tile
adhesive and screws (which are now rusted beyond use). The only option I

can
see to clean this tile up is to remove it and replace it.

However, I think that the tiles were layed on top of existing tiles by the
previous house owner. I have looked into methods of removing tiles from
walls but am a bit concerned about not damaging the underlying surface. Is
there anything I can do to minimise the impact to the previous tiles?


Don't worry about the surface below. Just remove loose shards and level it
up with tile adhesive, then tile with more adhesive when its dried. It'll
be fine.
