Actually, they're 're-roof' clay tiles, which, apparently, are thinner
than original roof tiles (they're only about a half-inch thick or less).

I realize I 'should' replace the broken clay tiles ... but I was just
wondering, since the cracks are brand new and all the pieces are
there ... is there any solution that involves simply gluing them back
together?

Just wondering if that's a viable alternative for minor roof repairs?



Me thinks the problem was you going up on the roof and
cracking the tiles...


OP stated that.


Find someone who is considerably lighter than your 250 pounds
to do future repairs up on your roof...

At 225 pound, an a lean fighting Army machine I stay off the tile
roof, unless I need my own personal approval up there.

Walking on tile is a trick, with Wilson tennis shoes.


Hi,
My house has metal ceramic coated tile roof.
My neighbor has concrete tiles on his roof.
When it was installed the roofer gave him
quite a few spare tiles and a pair of light wooden
platform to use if and when he needs to go on the roof.
