Do you have in tile in a kitchen, bathroom or other part of your home that is chipped?  Even a little chip can really make the whole design look old, cheap, ruined and essentially destroyed! It is also not super easy or practical to replace a tile in any part of your house by this sort of mishap!

Well, you can fix the look in seconds with this trick that we learned from Family Handyman magazine and it is really smart and a really good trick to save the look and save loads of money and headache!

Simply grab a nail polish in as close to this color as possible and then paint over the chip and it will easily be camouflage in the tile.  It make take a few coats!

You can even fill in the hole with caulk, smooth it out and then paint as well if your chip is bad enough to make a noticeable pock mark.

This fix can be a dollar or two, but save the tile, the look and the overall value of your home!

What tips do you have to fix chipped tiles?
