Hey guys,

We are trying to fix up and sell our house and I am needing some help with a broken tile we have. I chipped it out and took it to Rona to match, since it was installed 22 years ago and we do not have the spare/extras around.

From my knowledge it is a red clay interior, 6x6 inch, cream, glazed tile.

Rona had 2 items that I wish I could combine:
-a 3x6 inch, cream, tile that looks identical on the outside, but different inside clay
-a 6x6 inch, white, tile of the same style and make.

The worker there said they do not have the 6x6 of the cream.

Where else can I look for selection? I am in the south, near southland and mcloed. I see there are a few stores along 58th ave but I am wondering if there are other larger stores that I can try that may have a match?

Also, the dry wall behind the tile was damaged, is this a huge issue to replace or patch something in? It luckily was a bottom tile, so there is a ceramic ledge that I adhere it to, but is the drywall important for vapor or heat protection?
