How to fix cracked and chipped porcelain tiles?

[rmohlala]

Hi all,

We have porcelain tiles throughout the house and now they have lots of small chips and hairline cracks. Any recommendations how to fix them? The tiles are offwhite with a bit of gray. Thanks in advance

Hi @rmohlala,

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is wonderful to have you with us.

Do you have any photos that you can share? This would help our members offer their best advice based on your specific circumstances. Let me know if you need a hand with this, I'd be happy to assist if required.

For some general advice on repairing cracked tiles, have a look at How can you fix a cracked tile?

Depending on their severity, the chipped sections could be filled with PC-11 56g White Epoxy Paste, and then painted to match.

Once I can see the cracks, I may be able to advise further.

Hi all,

We have porcelain tiles throughout the house. Unfortunately there are lots of small chips, dents and hairline cracks. Replacing the tiles is not an option. Any recommendations how to fix it? The tiles are white/offwhite with some gray strokes. Thanks in advance

Would it be possible for you to post a few pictures of your chipped tiles. This will give our members a better idea of the tiles condition. We can then make recommendations on what product you can use to patch the tiles for the time being.

If you need assistance in posting the photos, please let us know.

Hello @rmohlala 

Thank you for sharing the photos of your tiled floor. I suggest going with Jacob's recommendation of using PC-11 56g White Epoxy Paste. It will be sufficient to repair the chips and cracks on your tiles surface. Please make sure to mix the epoxy paste very well in your hand so that it activates properly. Do not overfill the damaged sections but instead fill it to the same level as the tile. 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

I posted pics to hopefully give you a better idea of what needs to be fixing. 

Does the product you suggested require sanding after applying? 

Thanks
