That's something worth having

Sorry for quoting your post, but for some reason I'm having problems posting and can only post by quoting.

That looks like the exact same kit I have for repairing wooden floors. Minus a few wee bits. £13 of eBay.
Might check it out on a wee chip in my own floor.

There is also a version for wood to 30 €.
this is for tiles and marbles.
I would not know if they are all the same.

I've purchased a repair kit off the tinternet....... So will let you all know in due course what it's like.. :)
Did it work? I've had some laid and the silly place-holders the builders used have left chips on corners! .....also, I have one I dropped a basalt stone on when massaging. Thanks :)

A method I have used in the past to repair chips with quite good success was to use grout and mitre glue.
I would find a grout as close to the tile colour as possible (can mix different shades) then using a Stanley blade put a tiny coat of mitre glue onto the chip. Next sprinkle the grout over the glue and push it in with the blade, put on more glue then grout until slightly proud, compacting it with the blade each time. Once done can use the activating spray to set it off. Then using either a brand new blade or fine grit sandpaper get the repair flush with the tile. Will stick like sh*t and should be water resistant. Hope this helps anyone 👍
