Replace rather than conceal
A structurally cracked tile is generally better addressed with a compatible replacement than surface coating or improvised patching. Matching profiles and weathered dimensions may affect sourcing.
Look beneath the tile
Removing a damaged tile can reveal batten, sarking or water-path issues. A quote should explain whether concealed damage is included or treated as a variation after discovery.
