Colouring kerapoxy

[bbsilver]

Would really value some advice please!! I was advised by our handy man to fill in some fairly large cracks in our limestone tiles with kerapoxy jasmine. I have done this and sanded it all down but the colour is off white, not cream. He said to use some wood colour pens to colour this in and add a mottled design but the wood pen colours are too dark and the areas of kerapoxy a bit too large. Having looked at different forums now I realise I should have probably mixed in some darker colours before filling and allowing the material to set. Any advice what I can do now?

My first question would be why has the limestone cracked?

As above, what is the substrate..

Hi everyone,
Thanks for responding. I am in a first floor apartment in a Victorian building. My handyman tells me cracks have appeared due to the building shifting. He thinks there is probably a beam running underneath the line of cracks which have appeared over 4-5 tiles. The bathtub lies parallel to this line. I think the tiles were laid onto chipboard.

Hi and welcome... Handymen hey 🙂


Chipboard... was this over boarded and if so, what with ..?

And what limestone is it.?

Ok, this doesnt sound like it is going to end well Im afraid. Sound to me that there is more to this then just the cracking. If the tiles are cracking then the chances are that the bond between the adhesive and the floor is broken and the only way of sorting that is to rip the lot out and start from scratch.

Tiles should never be fixed directly onto chipboard.
