The tiled window sill on the front of our house had been painted years ago
and the paint was peeling off.

So although a long job I patiently scraped off all the paint. Then
discovered that a couple had been damaged and just filled with a filler
and painted over.

I'm in the process of removing one. See web pictu

Stupidly I thought they would clean up well with a carborundum stone, but
soon realized that they were *glazed* and I have now made a right mess of
a couple of them. See the two to the right of the broken tile that I'm
in the process of taking out.

I really don't want to paint them again unless I have to, since I 've a
feeling its just going to peel again in a couple of years. Any
suggestions as to what I'm best doing to try and repair scratched tiles?






They look similar to what I know as 'quarry tiles' are they about 6" square?
I bought some last year from Wolsley Builder Centre less than £1 each IIRC.
They have a slightly glazed look to them and I used them inside on a window
ledge as they don't mark when my wife waters her pot plants!
