How to Fix Mosaic Pictures

Mosaic pictures are made from pieces of colored tiles and grout. The ceramic tiles come in various shapes and sizes and are sold at most craft stores. If your mosaic picture has cracked or broken, you can repair it with grout and replacement tiles. If possible, bring the broken tiles with you when you purchase the replacement pieces to ensure that the colors match. Keep in mind that if the mosaic image sat in the sun for an extended period time, the color may have faded.

Things You'll Need

  • Tiles that match the colors, shapes and sizes of the broken pieces
