Q: What’s the best way to repair cracked tile?

A: The trouble with cracked tile is that it’s difficult achieve a perfect like-new repair. However, if the problems are minimal, the fact that tile is generally installed in a repeating pattern means you can make basic repairs that disguise the problem so it blends better with the rest of the floor and becomes less noticeable. Purchase some tile filler and paint that matches the color of tile. Mix some of the paint into the tile filler to match the color. Use a cotton swab to apply the filler to the crack, filling it completely. Allow the filler to dry a few seconds then wipe off the excess with a damp cloth.
