Hey /diy/, I chipped this tile in my kitchen after dropping a glass, how can I fix it?
I was thinking of using some epoxy to fill the void and then scraping it flat.
I would need to add some kind of colorant to the epoxy to match the color of the tile, I have some Tamiya acrylic paint laying around, can I mix it with the epoxy before applying?
Any other ideas?

Another pic, would cyanoacrylate (e.g: loctite) be a better choice than epoxy?

the right way to fix it is remove the grout, pull the tile, replace the tile, re-grout, seal.
Nail polish will hide it, at least temporarily.

colored concrete or epoxy are the way to go safe for tile change, it's still going to be visible but serviceable, I would not go with plaster as it will wear out too fast

Thanks guise, I'll paint the bottom of the chip, let dry, mix epoxy with some more paint and fill the void. Hopefully it won't be noticeable unless you look at from close.

But that is something I can't /diy/
