Porcelain Repair Kit - Tile and Stone Repair, Marble Repair, Tub and Tile Refinishing, Crack and Chip Filler for Ceramic Floors, Shower Tiles, Bathtubs, and Granite Surfaces

This is my second purchase of this product. Last year I made a repair to a broken tile in our guest bathroom. That tile is white and had a hole punched into it by a contractor. After completing the work you cannot see the repair. The second repair last year (from the same kit) was to a tile something heavy was dropped on and the tile shattered. I was able to get major pieces glued in but other areas needed to be filled. That tile was beige and I found the color matching to be a challenge. In the end the match was fairly good. I can see the repair if I go looking for it but it blends in fairly well.This year a bought a kit to repair some shower tiles that were broken when the shower was built decades ago. The breaks were fairly clean and you can’t see the repair even if you look for it.The biggest hurdle for me was color matching when there is a large surface exposure. Other than that the product use was straightforward.

Will probably work best if you have a simple, solid color of tile to repair. I had a difficult color with several shades and texture, but was still able to get fairly close to the original. The surface appears solid and is certainly an improvement over the damaged area. The instructions were clear and the materials easy to work with although the color mixing chart leaves a bit to be desired. I would recommend the product.

Good

Very difficult to figure out how to mix colors to get desired color. Unable to match tiles in the white family. Instead of mixing/using the colors provided, I ended up mixing left-over paint (white color family) with the putty provided to get the exact color match. The remaining instructions were easy to follow.

This product does not live up to its claims. The filler is not very strong, and it is a real chore to try to mix the primary colors in the anything that resembles colors you would find in a normal kitchen or bathroom. I ultimately resorted to using all purpose Bondo, and acrylic paints to try to match the color. Don't waste your time with this product!

Works as advertised! We had some nicks and cracks in the floor tile in the condo we're preparing to sell. The tile is one color, very light grey. Because it's uniform, and light colored, that made it harder, but the core of the tile was very dark, so even the small chips showed before repair. This product did the trick. It does take some patience. If you have tile that is multicolored, it would probably be much easier. In the first batch, I put a large drop of black dye in the mix, and it was too dark, and no amount of white dye was going to bring it back, so I threw it out. For the second batch, I put a drop of black onto another surface, and then just wiped a little of it onto the mixing tool. I got it almost perfect. However, after it dried, and I put the lacquer on it, it wasn't a good match. Third time was a charm, the chips I repaired with that batch could not be found. The larger crack repairs were visible, but only upon careful inspection. So if I had to do it over with more time on my hands, I would have probably slightly dyed the 3rd batch to make it a perfect match, but no one will notice it even now. I will definitely use this product again in the future, and I will definitely try to install floor tile that isn't one light color but has a marbled effect or something, as that would be much easier to repair. Thanks for offering a $21 product that saved me having to spend $4,000 on new floors for a rental condo we're selling.

This product is fine if you just want a temporary fix but not if you expect it to be a true repair. The putty is essentially the same as spackling paste and can be removed with a sponge and water, whether you tint it or not. The "lacquer" is not a true lacquer either and will not prevent repeated washing or sponging from removing shallow fills. Mixing colors is an art - with practice you can get very close to the color you need. The accessories that came with the kit last one use - the plastic bowl cracked immediately, the brush fell apart. Overall this was not worth the money I paid for it and I had to remove the patches so that I could put a real, harding epoxy-based filler into them.

As a commercial and residential remodeler, I use this product all the time. I find it useful in lots of situations when a small flaw could easily mean a big job. Instead, I am able to rescue myself from spending lots of time and money changing something I would rather keep. Often, it also means being able to keep beautiful and quality older installations that add character and charm to my projects. Good results from use do require patience and a steady hand. Don’t be afraid to overapply a little bit then sand down to a smooth finish. Best results come from warming up the room from start to finish. I also use a softer brush to apply varnish for a smooth finish. I regularly use these colors with the the Fortivo tub and sink porcelain repair kit. It works beautifully. Highly recommended.
