Can you get a bigger hvac floor register without increasing size of boot?
My husband is very new with tile work and renovations. He cut the hole too big in the tile for the floor register and now it looks like crap. Is there a way to get a bigger vent to cover the hole without replacing the entire boot?
Pop the affected tiles out, repair the overcut in the subfloor (if any), install new tile and cut the hole again. Do the job right. Just because it’s tile doesn’t mean it cannot be repaired.
Register size is pretty much defined by the boot size, but not exclusively. You could look at Home Depot for a larger size, but I strongly recommend you make the correct repair instead of bandaging the mistake.

There’s all sizes of vents, but you need to make sure the size of hole for it to fit. You may have to cut out, and a bigger and bigger boot.

==== the answer is the same that I would add to your question == elhigh is correct … the tile and overcut can be corrected by repairinf the sub-flooring and replacing the tile ….. it all goes back to the world’s oldest woodwork premise ….. measure twice and cut once ….. fix it right … it won’t show if the job is done right ….
