My granddaughter dropped a hard toy while being held by her Mom. It put a quarter size hole in the center of my ceramic tile. How can I go about filling this hole?
theres really no way to effectively patch a hole in ceramic,the best way to fix it is to replace it,sorry. repairing a floor tile in a high traffic area such as the kitchen is not a good idea,ceramic has sharp edges when broken and it can and will slice your feet open.I strongly suggest replacing the tile,especially with a little one around.
Porcelain Tile Repair Kit
They sell tub, tile and porcelain repair kits. I re-glazed an old, cracked sink and it came out looking like new. Its a two part mix, one part looks like thick paint, the other part is a hardening agent. I would get this stufff (I forgot the name) and mix and pour into the hole - it should dry rock hard. They also sell tints for it if you need to match the color. Besides that, you can always pop out the tile and just replace it if you can get that kind of tile again. (Not to sound like a jerk, but Mom should have offered to have it fixed for you - wouldn't be that much $ to have a pro pop one tile out!!)
Many people keep the extras tucked away in the basement or somewhere in the house. Try looking for them. Plan b would be to remove one from under the fridge or something. But you got to change it.to look right.
