Slight chipping on porcelain tile

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

First time tiling and when removing the levelling spacers I tried to remove some addy from the surface and slightly chipped the surface. What do you guys use to cover, still need to grout also.

It’s best to clean the joints as you tile. Can you replace the chipped tile. ?
I was cleaning the joints but the tile leveller had raised the adhesive which i had not noticed, i cant replace the tile unfortunately, its not the biggest of chips, just wondered if some infill would do the trick.
 
that doesn’t look too bad considering the tile itself has got some light and dark grays in it. If you were using a dark gray grout you could just fill in where the chips are I bet you wouldn’t even notice it. Because most of the chips seem to be on the dark gray areas.
BTW that looks a really cheap tile if it’s done that by just trying to remove some excess addy.
 
for the the stuck in levelling clips, Stanley out as much grout then blow torch Stanley knife blade, then melt the stuck in plastic clips, that should work
 
done the same myself when first using those clips. I cut the clips out with a stanley and ignored the chips and grouted over that was years ago I forgot about them and you still cannot see where the chips were.
