I have a few chips in my ceramic floor tile. It's a light natural color tile, so the chipped part is dark and noticeable. Is there anything that you can put in the chips to cover them up?

Hi there. You've presented an excellent question and I have the ultimate solution for you! As a tile contractor, I have in fact used this technique a dozen times with perfect results every time.
If these are small chips in the tile, touch them up with appliance touch-up paints or an oil enamel paint with a gloss similar to that of your tile. It's usually pretty simple finding a color that will match wonderfully. If these are larger sized chips or there is a corner of a tile is broken off, shape two-part epoxy putty to fit this area. The epoxy can easily be sanded lightly when dry, then painted with the appliance touch-up or enamel paint. All of these products can be found at your local Lowes or Home Depot.
Note: this is a quick fix for a chipped tile... not a cracked one. Cracked tiles are usually a sign of something wrong... other than the crack in the tile and the surface needs investigated thoroughly before determing the proper fix. It's actually VERY difficult to accidentally crack a tile that has been installed properly. But I'm sure the above fix will work fine for your described problem. Good luck and let me know how it worked out for you!

Check out the home improvement stores.... you could probably put a little grout in the chip that is a close match... or there might be another product out there. You could also try this site for suggestions... http://homeimprovement.divinfo.com/

Not that I know of, but you might check with a store, such as a flooring center, that not only sells but also installs. Their installer may have something.

try by filling out the chipped parts with white cement mixed with tilecolored powder.
