broken tiles
Shattered floor pieces
Broken tiles are ceramic, porcelain, or stone tiles that have cracked, chipped, or shattered.
The phrase appears in home repair contexts—We need to replace these broken tiles in the bathroom—and in mosaic art, where broken tiles become raw material for decorative work.
Figuratively rare, though a surface of broken tiles suggests neglect or disrepair.
