Need to patch floor, ideas where I can find this?

I have a bathroom original to 1967 with a terrible blue floor. Above 5 6 x 6 tiles worth are coming loose and I am not ready to renovate. Any ideas where I could possibly find this tile? Otherwise if I go just a basic tile it will of course stand out and I know that might have to be reality.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO UPLOAD PHOTO SO THIS WILL SHOW IT

That picture from your link was 3.1mb and over 4000x4000 pixels. That is portrait size. You need to take smaller pictures for uploading to websites.

Are the tiles broken or missing? why can't you reset them?

Chance of finding these tiles - 0

My experience is that there usually is water damage and issues with the mudbed the tiles sit on when they start randomly popping up like you are experiencing. Using the handle of a screwdriver, tap around the floor and listen for hollow spots. This is where there most likely is some water damage.

It is absolutely water damage. But I am not.yet ready to lift it all and redo the entire floor. I want to replace a few missing.tiles and grout it to seal it up to prevent it. Need it last a year as that is when we will be ready to redo it
