Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Cozzy70. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about repairing a tile.
Would it be possible to take another photo for us slightly zoomed out so our members can better gauge the extent of the damage? That way, they'd be better informed and able to offer helpful suggestions.
It's certainly possible to repair a tile instead of replacing it. I'd suggest filling the damaged section with Selleys 50g Knead It Multipurpose Epoxy Putty could be an option. Once the putty is applied, you can carefully mask off the surrounding tile and sand the putty flush with the tile's surface. You'd then be able to paint the putty in a similar colour to the tile.
I'm keen to hear more about the damage, see some other images and assist further with your project.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi MitchellMc,
hopefully this picture is better.

Hi @Cozzy70
Thanks for re-posting that photo of your tiled floor. The recommendation made by @MitchellMc in using Selleys 50g Knead It Multipurpose Epoxy Putty is spot on. The epoxy putty is very convenient to use, you just need to knead it in your fingers and when it is totally mixed, you just press it into the damaged area of the tile. Please make sure that the damaged spot is free of dust and debris before applying the epoxy putty.
Try to make the repair as small as possible and as low as possible. This will save you from having to sand off too much of the epoxy. I then propose going to your store's paint department and grabbing some colour cards that are close to the colour of your tile. See which one is the closest in colour and ask the paint specialist to mix you a small batch.
Using a small brush, I suggest painting the repair patch and feathering your strokes so that it blends in with the tile finish. I recommend a minimum of two coats so that it will last a while before you need to touch up the finish.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
Eric
