How to fix chipped shower tile?

Hi all,

 

I recently chipped a tile in my shower. The tile is the last tile on the shower wall, next to the shower base.

From reading other posts, I'm thinking along the line of getting a putting like these - PC-11 56g White Epoxy Paste or Selleys Selleys 50g Knead It Multi Purpose Epoxy Putty - Multi Purposeepoxy-putty&pid=1230040 

 

From then, I'm thinking of sanding and matching paint to finish.

 

Would you have any other advice?

 

Thank you :smile:

Hello @Hamster101 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thank for sharing your question about your chipped tile.

 

The PC-11 56g White Epoxy Paste and the Selleys 50g Knead It Multi Purpose Epoxy Putty both operate in the same manner. They are both kneaded in your hands to activate, and both can be placed on the damaged sections of the tile. They can be sanded down and painted over. Technically it just comes down preference and which one you're more familiar with. 

 

My best advice is to feather the application with your thumb so that it blends in with the surface of the tile. Don't apply too much so that you won't have to sand off a great deal of the putty. Please keep in mind that it will be necessary to touch up the paint patch every now and then when it begins to fade.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

 

Eric
