    How do I repair cracked tiles without replacing the entire floor?

    Hey friends! I recently noticed a few cracked tiles in my bathroom, and I'm not sure how to fix them. Is there a way to repair cracked tiles without having to replace the entire floor? Any DIY methods or recommended professionals for the job?​

    Depends on the crack size! πŸ˜‰ For small hairline cracks, you can totally DIY it with some epoxy resin. Just gotta find a color match and follow the instructions. Bigger cracks might need a pro though. I wouldn't mess with anything huge myself! πŸ˜β€‹

      Great advice, thanks! I'll definitely give epoxy resin a shot for the small cracks and leave the big ones to the pros.

    Hii! You can use a small hand-held rotary tool with a diamond bit to carefully grind out the cracked portion of the tile. Once the crack is removed, you can fill it in with a matching colored epoxy or grout

    Clean the Tile: Make sure the cracked tile and surrounding area are clean and dry. Use Epoxy: Get some two-part epoxy from a hardware store. Mix it according to the instructions and apply it to the crack with a toothpick or small tool. Fill the crack completely. Smooth It: Use a putty knife to smooth the epoxy so it’s level with the tile surface.​

      Hiii! Thanks for the detailed steps! I'll make sure to clean the tile first and then carefully apply the epoxy to fill and smooth the crack.
