A question for ye old tilers

Afternoon

I recently came across a couple of small chips in the ceramic tiles we have on the floor in the kitchen. It looks like the enamel has chipped off the top.

Do any of you know the best way to fill in this chip. A friend mentioned enamel paint but before I go ahead and have a go at this, are there any better ways to sort this problem leaving it invisible to the naked eye?

Thanks

If you can get the same floor tile far better to replace them,if not try mixing some paint that's near enough a match with grout and make sure the area where the chip is grease free wipe with thinner's our some thing, and apply.

Well the chip is exactly on the white pattern which I suppose makes it easier for getting the color right.

The house is rented so I would have to ask the landlord if they have any more tiles. I would like to avoid this and prefer to try and repair it. I don't want it reflecting on the deposit when we ever move out as not sure if it falls under fair wear and tear.

Put a handy photo of the missus over it.

If she drops anymore cups on the floor and chips the tiles, it won't be a picture that ends up there.
