Tile repairing can be a very tricky job. To repair a cracked or chipped tile a little skilful hand is needed.Chipped or cracked tile is a common problem in many households. If you choose to try the repair yourself,here are somesteps for a guideline: - Purchase oil-based primer/sealer, high gloss oil paint that matches the color of the tileand a syringe of two parts clear marine epoxy.
- Clean the chipped or cracked area with soap and water and rinse with clean water. Dry the area completely.
- Once the tile is dry, use a very small brush and carefully apply some of the primer/sealer to just the chipped area of the tile. Avoid using a huge amount of the sealer.
- Wait for some time and then apply a coat of finish paint in the same manner as you applied the primer/sealer.
- See if the color matches and if there is a difference in the color; apply a second light coat of finish paint. After 24 hours you can apply a secondcoat of paint.
- Once the color matches the surrounding part of the tile, wait an additional 24 hours. Mix the two-part marine epoxy that will fill the chipped area so it is the same height as the surrounding vacant part of the tile.
- Carefully spray out equal amounts of each part of the epoxy onto a scrap of cardboard and mix it very well.
- Apply the epoxy with the tip of a toothpick. Be careful to only get it in the chipped area.
- Carefully drop a small amount of epoxy at a time and add just enough so the top of the epoxy is in level with the top of the tile.
- Let it set. It usually takes 24 hours to set.
