HELP! Just chipped tiled floor! :(

I've just been a complete dunce and dropped a glass jar which has taken a chunk out of hour month old floor. 
I have the vast majority of the bit that's come out. What's the best way to fix it?! Currently have an orange blob in our grey/black floor. Get a dark grout?
I could cry!

I'd look at superglue and felt pens .... but then I'm a cheap bodger.0

Sharpie is an option!0

If it's only a month old, you could try ringing the person who laid it and asking for their advice - they might be kind enough to do something to help you out.0

It's possible to take out a tile and replace it, but IMO that's a "proper tiler" job otherwise the ones around tend to crack as well. But it's not an expensive or time consuming job so very easy to sort out.
If you don't want to go down the route of a "proper job" the I'd be tempted to superglue the bit on and touch it up with Sharpie. Although Sharpie on black tiles can be seen (bitter experience!) as it's a slightly different texture (shines a bit in the light).0 -
This is quite impressive...

I had a chipped worktop in a newbuild property once, and the builder had a specialist chip-man who came and fixed it almost invisibly. So it might be possible to hire someone to fix it for you.0 -
Don't you have a spare tile? I always keep spares of any tiles I buy for my place as it's easy enough to remove a damaged tile & replace it. If you don't have spares at home then go back to the shop you bought them from & make sure you buy a few more than you actually need this time, just in case!The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.0 -

Yes I have also kept a few spares for the same reason. Luckily not needed yet (touch wood!)0
