Not very deep..... Just the glaze chipped
That kit looks like it’ll be difficult to use on an edge mate, cos it’s more or less a thick liquid. That’s why they demo a hole in middle of the tile.
I think it’ll require building up layer at a time.
Don’t know how resilient it would be on an edge.
Is it a resin?
Watched the video, didn’t notice if it was or not.
A resin will have strength.

What’s that Martin?

It's a set that I found on amazon. I think it's German. You get a hot spatula powered by batteries along with a selection of different coloured resins. You start with lighter colours as a base then add dark colour until it matches the tiles.

There is a video on Youtube I believe.

I've used it to fill holes and chips and been pretty successful with it. I had to move a mirror on some porcelanosa tiles recently and when I filled the holes it was very difficult to spot them even close up.

Building up the edge of a tile is harder but possible. I added a spot of super glue to the chip then added the resin to give it strength. Then some light sanding and hey presto saved myself a lot of time and effort.

I sent the pic to the invisible repair man and he wanted nearly £200 just to repair that one chip...!!
