Cracked porcelain floor tiles - can they be repaired? - TilersForums.com

[DTL]

Have posted for replacement porcelain floor tiles that have been discontinued without success, so wondering if it's possible to invisibly repair them? Floor was laid when house was built in 2007 on concrete rafts(?) but cracks didn't appear until around 3 years ago, which is puzzling - there aren't any cracks in external walls/doorways/skirting. Cracked tiles extend from one side of kitchen to the other and I'm hoping, probably in vain, to avoid having to have the whole floor taken up and replaced, excess of 60 mts.

Any suggestions please?

I'm afraid there is no way to invisibly repair them, you could grout the crack with a light coloured grout that may take the eye off it

Have you tried magic man ? they can do most repairs but dont know if this one is possible..... worth a phone call though !

Magic man do this sort of thing onsite for chips/scratches I'm always changing cracked ones they say no to, in all honesty if it's a glossy tile don't go magic man they never look right, as you can see there sprayed and they then scratch even easier.
