How to Glue a Tile Crack

One method of fixing a cracked tile is to replace the entire tile with a new one, but this is a labor-intensive method and requires that you have extra tile in storage. You can also fill in a crack in tile with epoxy glue. This will keep the crack from widening or lengthening, and you can later take steps to hide the appearance of the crack. This is a less expensive and labor-intensive method of tile repair.
