Replacing tiles
#1
All this talk about regrouting a shower has got me thinking out our entry hall. We had the entry hall, the kitchen and the half bath all tiled some times ago. At some point, a couple tiles started loosening. I noticed bits of grout on the floor that had popped out. Then I started noticing the tiles would grind when you stepped on them. Finally they just came up. Didn't even have to pull.

But only in that one spot. That spot is at the bottom of a set of stairs so I guess they would get the most traffic. Anyway, what's the best way to go about fixing this? Am I going to have to grind out all the thinset? Or chisel? Or however? The other problem, Is that I've been unable to find these tiles anywhere. i don't remember where we got them and I can't find any extras. So I cannot break any. That would be bad. Assuming there are a few that pop off, would it be safe to remove the thinset and just redo those?

Any suggestions or opinions? I feel like I've asked this here before but i couldn't remember.
