FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Tile Repair, Grout Colorant & Ceramic Repair Kits
What is included in the Fliesendoktor Professional Repair Kit?
The Fliesendoktor Professional Repair Kit includes all tools and materials required for precise and long-lasting tile repair, ideal for achieving quick and high-quality results.
The Fliesendoktor Professional Repair Kit (Item No. 16745) is a complete system for the durable restoration of ceramic and porcelain tiles. It contains a UV lamp, grinding tool, pigments, repair cylinders, applicator tips, and detailed accessories for fine surface work. With this set, you can repair scratches, chips, cracks, and surface damage almost invisibly. It is suitable for professional users as well as private users who want a clean and high-quality repair finish.
Which materials is the ceramic repair kit suitable for?
The ceramic repair kit is suitable for ceramic, porcelain stoneware, marble, and natural stone.
The Ceramic Repair Kit (Item No. 16761) is designed for the repair of high-quality surfaces such as ceramic, porcelain stoneware, marble, and natural stone. It allows accurate color and texture repair of small damages without replacing the entire tile. The components are formulated to ensure the repair integrates seamlessly into the existing surface.
How long does the grout colorant last?
With proper preparation and care, the grout colorant will typically last several years.
A high-quality grout color application is very durable, especially when the grout is thoroughly cleaned beforehand. This allows the colorant to bond deeply and evenly. With normal use and regular cleaning, the color remains stable and fresh-looking for many years, giving your tiled surfaces a long-lasting clean and uniform appearance.
Is the Fliesendoktor system suitable for users without professional experience?
Yes, small repairs can be performed even without professional training.
The Fliesendoktor Repair Kit is designed to be easy to understand and safe to use. Minor repairs, such as small chips or surface scratches, can be carried out independently. For more demanding or highly visible areas, attending a KARL DAHM Fliesendoktor training seminar is recommended to learn precision techniques and professional methods for perfect results.
Can I reorder individual colors or components?
Yes, all colors and accessories can be ordered individually.
The Fliesendoktor system is modular. Pigments, applicator tips, cylinders, tool parts, and accessories can be ordered separately from the KARL DAHM online shop. This allows for cost-efficient use, since you only need to replace what has been used.
Do I need to clean the grout before applying the grout colorant?
Yes, thorough cleaning is essential.
For the grout colorant to adhere properly and achieve a smooth, even result, the grout must be deep-cleaned beforehand. Residues such as soap, grease, and limescale prevent proper absorption. Using a special grout cleaner ensures the color bonds evenly and remains long-lasting and visually consistent.
Which colors are available for the grout colorant?
A wide range of classic and modern color shades is available.
The KARL DAHM grout colorant comes in a broad selection of shades, allowing you to match the grout to your tiles and interior style. The palette includes light natural tones, grey variations, and contemporary trend colors, helping to create a harmonious and visually appealing finish.
How long does the application of the grout colorant take?
Application usually takes only a few minutes per square meter.
The grout colorant is quick and efficient to apply. Depending on the surface area, the process typically requires just a few minutes per m². Even larger tiled areas—such as bathrooms or kitchens—can be visually renewed in a short time, without removing grout or replacing tiles.
Is the tile repair kit also suitable for floor tiles?
Yes, the repair kits are suitable for both wall tiles and floor tiles.
The materials are designed to withstand high levels of wear, making the repair system ideal for floor tiles in areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and hallways. After curing, the repaired areas are durable, load-resistant, and visually discreet, blending naturally into the surrounding tile structure.
Are training courses available for proper product usage?
Yes, practical workshops and training seminars are offered.
KARL DAHM regularly offers Fliesendoktor training courses, where participants learn hands-on techniques, material knowledge, and professional repair methods. These seminars help achieve precise, long-lasting, and visually perfect repairs, making them ideal for tile installers, renovation specialists, and advanced users.
