Has anybody ever repaired a scratch on porcelain tiles? - Tile Advice

[Carllayhe]

To anybody out there in the trade, or other,..I have a noticable scratch on a white and grey marble effect tile, caused by the kitchen fitter. The tiles are 1m x 1m and go under an ornate island so replacing is difficult. Does anybody know of a product that can be used to repair scratches, as buffing the scratch out may be very difficult due to the hardness of the tile?

It's definitely a scratch and not metal mark?

Definitely a scratch, I will upload a picture, it has broke the glaze but not the pattern.

Then it will need to come up, kitchen fitter will have to pay. Maybe a bit tricky but your tiler should not have to much trouble. Maybe a couple of hours work

Nice kitchen though, bet that wasn’t cheap.

Kitchen fitters can afford to pay the repair costs then!

Go to Halfords, buy a windscreen repair kit, it has liquid resin in it.
It just may mask the scratch.
Won’t work on wall tiles before anyone asks
And it’s 50/50 on the floor, but it may help.
Other than that, you’re up that creek without one!
Lovely tile too I might add
