    Either a wide flathead chisel or a paint scraper and hammer,and gently tap the chisel or scraper in under the tile.Take the grout and silicone sealant out 1st and then take the broken tile out.When installing a new tiled bath panel make a removeble access hatch or door so that you can gain access to under bath waste pipes and bath tap flexis without having to break off the bath panel again.

    A Stanley knife is good too for removing grout. Keep both hands on it though cause if it slips it'll get messy

    I use a Bosch oscillating multi tool with grout removal bit.Great little machine for quick,precise and easy grout removal.
