When heavy objects fall, ceramic tiles inevitably give chips and cracks. The radical method is its complete replacement, but it is convenient to do this only with cosmetic repairs. How can I mask a broken tile?
Repair of chips and cracks
It is not always possible to find a tile suitable for replacement by color and size. To hide areas of damage, chips and cracks, you can use cement milk. This is a special white and liquid compound that is rubbed with a sponge or rag into the damaged area. After drying, the place is painted over with the most suitable color.
Small cracks in the tiles can be removed using ordinary grout. A suitable color composition is selected, rubbed into the place of damage, and after drying it is polished to an ideal state.
Also, on damaged areas, you can stick a colored film that matches the tone of the entire tile, or vice versa, a contrast. You can also use various vinyl stickers or make a composition of them.
Before sealing any defects, the surface is thoroughly washed with soapy water to remove dust and greasy stains. After the tiles take time to dry, as its porous structure easily absorbs water. Then, using a small brush, an oil-based primer is applied to the damaged area. Also for restoration, you can use oil paint, which is suitable for the color of the tiles. After it dries, the tile is smeared with a thin layer of epoxy glue.
Damage to the tiled wall can be hidden with a towel holder, if they are at the top. If below, then by some figurines or figures.
Radical method
It is possible to gloss over, glue or paint over only small defects that will be barely noticeable after restoration. If half of the tile has cracked, and most of the pieces fell out, then it is necessary to dismantle the damaged area.
Before gluing a new tile. It is necessary to carefully remove the old without damage to the neighboring ones. To begin with, the seams are cleaned up to the base with a special binder or any suitable sharp object.
After the surface of the tile you need to tap with a hammer and pry off the fragments with a spatula, they should easily move away. If it does not work, then it is necessary to glue the adhesive composition of the tile with plenty of soap and water.
After all the pieces of tile have moved away from the wall, you need to work on them. If the tile itself is whole, but there were a lot of cracks on it, then the tile must be saved and soaked. After 12 hours, remove the remaining glue from the back surface, and glue all parts with epoxy glue. If most of the pieces fell off the tile, then it must be completely replaced.
