It’s a shame in a way that it’s noyhing more than a hairline crack, if it’d been something a little more, the Integra would have worked well, not only is it designed to repair lateral cracks in slabs but it comes in 309 colours, colourmatching the slab with 2 or 3 different tubes could possibly have masked it altogether.

Turn on you under floor heating and the gap will open slightly wider Mapei have a resin called epojet which is low viscose and penetrates as you say , fill the crack with resin until it won't take any more , then turn your heating off for as the floor cools the gap will close slightly it may well close enough for the gap to become invisible , I have one on my kitchen floor which cannot be seen until the UFH is turned on and run for a few hours , same thing the tile was not drilled out when the check was cut out and I was at in hospital at the time it was tiled so could not do the floor myself

Guys sorry to bring this thread back from the depths of time but we now have 3 of these tiles with hairline cracks and one tile cracked upstairs due to nearby tiles that had to be removed. (water was coming through the grout... long story)

Anyway, we have detailed our concerns to the builder and he has agreed for us to find someone who is able to repair those tiles.

Is there anyone here in the Hertfordshire are that is skilled at this sort of thing and willing to make the journey and repair properly? We are in Elstree.
