I was looking for a video like this with somebody that had tried to repair ceramic tile since I can't find replacement tiles. Looks pretty good what you fixed I was wondering what about putting a sealer over it so when the floors washed and stuff it doesn't affect it at all. I know you seal the grout but maybe tile could be sealed as well, anyway I'm going to try it to some big divots I have in my tile since I have no replacements to try to match up they're 18 or 19-in tiles. Thanks
Curtis I loved the video. Looks great. I'm a housewife and not very handy, so I don't feel comfortable doing this DIY. Is there anyone you would recommend in the Rockland County, NY area who does this proffesionally?
Thank you for your comment! This is something I had never tried before this video. Im sure you can tell by my accent that I'm not from the New York area! 😆 I do not know anyone that could do this for you. Good luck with your project!
Been watching your videos I don't have chips I've got long thin cracks from one of my caregiver who Stomps around my kitchen on about four tiles can you advise I have got this same exact color tile
no it has to be oil based to mix with the putty.. mind you, you might just be able to just use thick acrylic paint for the whole fill since that stuff doesn't come off! i might try that at my home but not on a job
Hi Mary, one thing to note with chips and cracks have different reasons on why they happen. For chips, it could be a manufacturers defect, or someone had dropped a solid item, or chip out while cutting the tile. Cracks are commonly caused by either poor thinset on the back of the tile and having too much pressure applied to a suspended area, or the subfloor like concrete has a crack. Fort he first case, the tile needs to be pulled up with the thinset and reset properly and should have 90%+ coverage area of thinset(no gaps creating weak spots for the tile). For the second, the crack in the subfloor needs to be addressed before placing a new tile down. This is commonly done by laying a uncoupling membrane between the subfloor and new tile. Best of luck.
Thanks for the repair tip. To restore the shine and finish of the tile did you use any additional products to match the rest of the tile surface? Keep up the good work.
I’ve watched several different you tube videos on fixing cracks in ceramic tile and yours is the best!
Using the tip of a toothpick is a great way to add only the tiniest bit of color when mixing small amounts of paint. Thanks for the video!
"Fix it the best you can with what you've got." -- Motto for life, too! Thanks for this video - very helpful.
Thank you for making this video. In a pinch…. This works. Looking forward to seeing more!
Looks much better. I feel like I got a 2 for one. A color mixing video and new uses for Bondo video. Thanks.
Best tutorial I’ve found. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video. This is just what I needed.
GREAT JOB! Thanks for the video!!😊
Thanks man, very useful video
Let’s just paint a little happy tree over here...
😂
Genius!!!! No doubt about it. Thanks, Steve Asheville, N.C.
Thank you for the video, it us very helpful 😀
Great vid! I noticed the kit included lacquer. Just wondering if it could be used to help give a slight sheen to the finished surface.
I think you could, but I haven't tried it
Thanks for the video I will try

You can use milliputy which is for ceramic.
Exactly the same tiles in my kitchen…hope I can do the same.
Awesome repair and tips!

Great job.... I never used bondo.. but do you need to a add a hardener? or is it fine as is
Bondo will not harden sufficently. you need to add the catalyst, the hardener.
Can you use a matching grout and cream harder to fill crack ?
Will this work for cracks?
Can you please leave your list of supplies for doing this?
Great video. Can I use acrylic artist paint?
no it has to be oil based to mix with the putty.. mind you, you might just be able to just use thick acrylic paint for the whole fill since that stuff doesn't come off! i might try that at my home but not on a job
What kind of paints did you use?
See his kit:: Cal Flor Tile Fix
@@patsousa714 Thank you
It looks amazing! I have 2 long cracks almost the length of two ceramic tiles. Will this still work, or is it just for tiny spots like this. Thanks!

Hello I think you have the exact same tile that we have. Is there any way I could purchase some tiles from you?
Great Job!
I’m fixing to do this same operation, but I’m gonna tap off the chip so I can avoid sanding the tile
The first color was perfect...just saying
What color must be mixed with putty ?
You are awesome
Links to products?
Thanks for the repair tip. To restore the shine and finish of the tile did you use any additional products to match the rest of the tile surface? Keep up the good work.
Nothing else was used. Just the products in the video.
Nice video👍
unnoticeable at all
Great job
I can't buy the tile fix paint in NZ, could I just use normal paint instead?
Unsure, I've never tried that. Let me know if you do.
Great looking job!1question-when sanding,is there any danger of wearing through the glaze of the tile?Many thanks!🙂👍
If you really sand aggressively, it would be possible. I am sanding very lightly.
What’s easier- replace or patch? I know that replacing is best -but I’m interested in knowing which one is easier? Thanks
I would say replacing is probably easier...if you have matching tile. I did not have, nor could I find tile to match.
Great job, I have the same problem
Maybe just add some sealer to the repaired area only.
Thank you!
I thought that bondo putty was not water proof, that when applied to a car it has to see painted before it gets wet.
Nail polish works wonders on those tiny ones
Thanks for the tip
Do you know how nail polish does when mopped over from chemicals or steam mop also? Will it fade or come off from either of those?
@@elbeno2372 does great. Will last years
is this will stick strong? and dose the spot will look darker than the tiles with the time?
It will stick strong. As for the color lasting or changing in the long term. I am unsure.
turned out great, thank you for sharing
Looks good
Thanks. I hope it helped.
How do I order a kit
I think I ordered this from Amazon or ebay.
Thanks a lot!!!
Wow
