How to repair cracked tiles?

[Zeehan]

Is there anyway to repair this tiles without replacing?

Hi @Zeehan,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community.

Due to the fine nature of the cracks, it is difficult to carry out a great repair. With wider cracks you can apply clear epoxy glue and then paint the glue to match. Unfortunately, in your example, the cracks are not wide enough for this method to be effective.

On the discussion around How to improve appearance of cracked kitchen tiles user @prettyliving mentions she had some success by rubbing a similar coloured paint into the crack. Please note that she also mentions she had to repeat this after a while as the paint began to darken.

You might like to give this a try as a temporary fix. Ultimately, the only true way to fix this is to remove and replace the broken tiles, but this might work for you.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

How's about this one?

Hi @Zeehan,

There wouldn't be much difference between this tile and the others. For an epoxy repair to be worthwhile, the crack would need to be at least 4-5mm wide.

I'd suggest using the same technique of rubbing a similar coloured paint into the crack.

Once again, the only real way to completely fix the problem is to remove and replace, but this may give you a better look for some time.

If you have any further questions, please reach out.
