Has anybody ever repaired a scratch on porcelain tiles?

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
 
Magic man it is then. 😉

Amazing what can be repaired.
 
Yep, as if by magic. 🙂
 
Nice kitchen though, bet that wasn’t cheap.
 
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 :tearsofjoy:
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 🙂
 
Thanks 3 fall, these are the type of constructive answers I was looking for,..have you ever tried it?..there is underfloor heating, so I dont know about longevity but worth a try,.
 
Don’t think so, but they repair hard surfaces so might be worth a call 🙂

For the sake of a tenner, you may get a result you’re prepared to accept, it’ll never be perfect, but it might work to a degree.
Just follow instructions on pack as closely as you can.
Setting the resin will be the fiddliest bit.
It needs UV light.
If you can get it to set, and scrape back the excess, you’ve a decent chance.

Magic man is a franchise, I’ve heard all sorts of claims about what they are supposed to be able to do!
Looking at your floor, if he can make that scratch go away on something that highly polished, I want his phone number! :tearsofjoy:
Not magic mans, the actual guy who repaired it. 🙂
