Hi! Am looking for suggestions on how to disguise hairline cracks in ceramic floor tiles. As always, many thanks.

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Dec 04, 2011If the cracks are in the tile themselves. There is no way to correct this as it is a sign that the tile moved or is moving. Any paint or epoxy that could be used to fill these cracks would fail in short order. Also any repairs would have to be an exact match to color and to gloss. If it was not, the crack would show up even worse then it does now.Helpful Reply

Cindy H on Dec 05, 2011We have the same issue with some tile between the kitchen and family room. Our tile is an off white/tan blend. We filled it w/some light paint and you can not notice it, unless you are looking for it.Helpful Reply
