How to fix chipped tile in shower?

Hi! I’d like to get some advice on the best way to fix the chipped tile on my shower floor. I understand that I’ll have to use Epoxy putty but wondering given it’s (charcoal/dark grey) colour and it’ll be exposed to water, is it better to go with mixing colour in the putty mix before applying it? Or shall I just apply white putty and paint over it?

I’m looking for the most durable option. Thanks!

Hello @vib

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your chipped tile.

I propose using PC-11 56g White Epoxy Paste. Yes, you can add acrylic tint to change it close to the colour that you need. My best advice is to tint it first before you start mixing it, remember to tint only the portion that you need and not the entire container. For a super flat finish, I suggest using a Pro Renovator 50mm Plastic Scraper and feathering the edges with your thumb for a nice finish.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
