For instance, heavy pots and pans can cause hairline cracks if dropped on the floors.<\/li><li>In case you have noticed cracks and chips on several tiles across the house, it could be an indicator that you\u2019ve installed low-quality tiles.

Please note that problems with underlayment need to be sorted out before you install new tiles, or they\u2019ll end up getting damaged as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to prevent tiles from cracking in the future, you need to figure out what caused them to break in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How-to-repair-cracked-tiles\"><strong>How to Repair Cracked Tiles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we know some of the most common causes behind cracked tile flooring, let\u2019s take a look at some of the ways you can fix them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Repair a Hairline Crack<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-to-Prevent-and-Fix-Cracked-Tiles-A-30-04-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"repair chips and hairline cracks in tiles\" class=\"wp-image-88630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-to-Prevent-and-Fix-Cracked-Tiles-A-30-04-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-to-Prevent-and-Fix-Cracked-Tiles-A-30-04-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-to-Prevent-and-Fix-Cracked-Tiles-A-30-04-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-to-Prevent-and-Fix-Cracked-Tiles-A-30-04-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-to-Prevent-and-Fix-Cracked-Tiles-A-30-04-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-to-Prevent-and-Fix-Cracked-Tiles-A-30-04.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Cracked and chipped tiles can be fixed using clear epoxy <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Chips and hairline cracks in tile floors are usually fixable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, homeowners ignore small fissures and cracks in tiles until they break completely. This can be extremely dangerous as the cracks in floor tile may allow moisture to seep through to the underlayment. This is especially true for bathrooms, which happen to be the most humid and moist rooms in a house.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to repair hairline cracks in tiles, you first need to remove any dust or debris that may have settled inside. The best way to go about this is to vacuum the tile flooring and then use a solution of warm and dishwashing liquid to get rid of grease or any other leftover debris. Next, wipe the tile with a clean cloth and allow it to dry thoroughly. You can even use cotton swabs to remove any moisture from the fissures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best things you can use to repair cracked tiles is clear epoxy. Available easily at hardware stores, epoxy acts as a tile filler and can be used to fix smaller and larger cracks alike.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using two-part epoxy, which includes separate containers for resin and hardener, you need to mix them according to the manufacturer\u2019s instructions. If you have any old tiles similar to the ones you are about to repair, it is suggested you do a small patch test for practice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step to fix cracked tiles is to patch up the cracks by filling it with the epoxy mix using a toothpick. Leave it to dry for a few minutes before scraping the excess off with a razor blade or a utility knife.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same method can be used to fix hairline cracks in tiled walls and backsplashes as well as<strong> <\/strong>damaged countertops. Moreover, epoxy can be used to repair ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, granite and marble among other porous and non-porous flooring materials.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you can\u2019t find epoxy, a hot glue gun might provide a temporary solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Hide a Cracked Tile<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-to-Prevent-and-Fix-Cracked-Tiles-B-30-04-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"hide a cracked tile with oil paint \" class=\"wp-image-88629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-to-Prevent-and-Fix-Cracked-Tiles-B-30-04-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-to-Prevent-and-Fix-Cracked-Tiles-B-30-04-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-to-Prevent-and-Fix-Cracked-Tiles-B-30-04-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-to-Prevent-and-Fix-Cracked-Tiles-B-30-04-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-to-Prevent-and-Fix-Cracked-Tiles-B-30-04-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/How-to-Prevent-and-Fix-Cracked-Tiles-B-30-04.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>You can try hiding the cracks with oil paint <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to repair a cracked tile without removing it is by camouflaging the chips and fissures \u2013 and what could be a better way to do that other than painting the tile?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to hide a damaged tile, you must first thoroughly clean and dry the surface as well as the crack. Then use a small paintbrush to apply an oil-based primer to the inside of the crack in a thin layer and wait for it to dry. Make sure you don\u2019t get any primer on the glazed surface of the tile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the primer is dry, you can apply a coat or two of a high gloss oil-based paint in the same shade at your tiles. If the cracked tile is located in a high foot-traffic location, consider covering it with a big pot or a pan to ensure no one steps on it. Leave it to dry overnight and check it in the morning to see if the crack is still visible. In case it is still pretty noticeable, you\u2019ll have to use the epoxy method mentioned above to repair the crack tile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, this is all you needed to know to be able to repair cracked tile flooring with replacing any of the tiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, if you\u2019re having trouble <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/best-tiles-each-room-house.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">selecting the right tiles for your home<\/a> or want to learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/types-floor-tiles-rates-pakistan.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">different types of tiles and their rates in Pakistan<\/a>, you can take a look at our handy guides on the topic.
