Instructions

Simple step-by-step instructions to fix a chip on any surface no matter the colour.

Colour Chart

The Colour Chart is the key to getting a perfect colour match to the chip you are repairing. This is what makes the kit so easy to use.

5 Bottles of Fluid

The coloured fluid has been specially formulated to mix easily, dry quickly and is extremely durable. The kit contains 10ml bottles for each colour, enough to repair over 100 medium-sized chips.

Mixing Cards & Sticks

No mess, no fuss. The cards provide the workspace to mix your colour, and the bevelled sticks allow for both mixing and applying the fluid.

Applicators

Double-sided applicators used to prepare the chip, apply the colour to large chips, and clean the surrounding area.

Chip Filler

Liquid paste filler specifically formulated for deep chips.

Sanding & Fine Paper Strips

Sanding strips remove excess filler without scratching the surface. The fine paper strips are used after the repair has dried to create a matte finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

How easy is it to get the correct colour?

It will take a few attempts to get the exact colour. It is really quite easy. You can practice on the cards before applying to the chip.

How long will the process take to fix a chip?

Once you have mastered the colour mixing, it literally takes a minute or two. The first time may take about 5 to 10 minutes.

How long have you got before the paint starts drying?

The larger the droplet the longer you have to work with – it will dry within minutes.

I left a bottle open and the stuff inside has got thick. How do I dilute it?

The product is solvent based and can be diluted with common lacquer thinners. You can easily pick up a small bottle of lacquer thinner at any local hardware store, regardless of whether you bought your kit in-store or online via Takealot.

What happened to the Mend a Tile product?

The Mend a Chip product is exactly the same as the tile repair kit. We discovered that the same compounds could be used on almost any surface and not just tiles. We have specifically tested it on tiles, metal, wood, hard plastics and even leather (touching up chipped heels pn ladies shoes). It is truly an amazing product and a must for every home.

Can this product be used for cracks?

We don't recommend it for cracks, especially hairline (very thin) cracks. If the crack is bad, it will make it a whole lot better, but still noticeable.

How durable is the product?

The liquid you have been supplied is of the highest quality and is extremely durable.

Can this paint be used in bathrooms and showers?

Yes. It is very durable and certainly waterproof. Just make sure that the tile is dry before applying the mixed fluid.

How soon can I walk on the repaired chip?

It can be walked on as soon as it is touch dry which will be approximately 10 - 15 minutes.

What type of tiles can be repaired?

Porcelain, Ceramic, Stone, Mosaics, any tile that is not translucent.

I have a whole lot of chipped tiles all over my house. How many chips can be repaired with one kit?

This is difficult to answer as it depends on how many colours you are going to be using in the kit. If your chips are 3 - 5mm in diameter, you will be able to repair a minimum of 100 chips.

Can I use the kit for tiles on my patio?

Yes, we have used the product successfully outside.

Is the finish matt or gloss?

The dried liquid has a gloss finish. Fine water paper strips have been included in each kit and are to be used 48 hours after you have repaired your chip. Simply sand lightly to get a Matt finish.

Can I use the kit for marble tiles?

This product is not translucent but you will be able to get an exact match of the colours required. You will still be able to mask your chip by repeating the pattern in your marble tile.

What happens if my tiles are patterned?

This product is ideal for patterned tiles - you need to repeat the patterns by replicating the shapes within. As the liquid is touch dry within minutes, you will be able to mix up all the different colours in your tile. Work with one colour at a time.

Where can I see the Kit?

The product is available at selected Jack's Paint and other Hardware Stores. We recommend calling to confirm stock and price.

Is this the product that Reuben The Screwman was talking about on Cape Talk on Saturday morning?

Yes it is. The show was broadcast on Radio 702 as well. No, he is not affiliated to us in any way and deals with a host of DIY products on his shows.

What about wooden laminate floors? Mine are an ash colour.

Should be fine as long as the chip is not too big. The mottled affect of the wood or even your ash colour is ideal.

I have a chip on the door of my car from opening it against a wall. It is a black Audi A4. Will it work?

Yes, absolutely. After applying it to the chip, give the whole door a good polish the next day.

Will this work on any color car?

Yes, the kit contains all the primary colours so you can match any colour car.
