If they are small chips or cracks, it is possible you may be able to disguise the defect with our Appliance + Porcelain Paint Touch Up. However, keep in mind that this product is a paint -- designed to minimize unsightly marks and scuffs. As a result, it will not fill in deep spaces. [Note that this is a high-gloss (shiny) paint. If the ceramic tile is low-gloss (matte, low-sheen), you may have better results with the Multi-Surface Paint Touch Up.]
In low-moisture settings (e.g., not inside sinks, tubs, etc., that are frequently exposed to water), our spackle may work to fill it in, and then the touch-up paint can be used to match the color. If it's in a place exposed to frequent water, then our Appliance + Porcelain 8-piece Epoxy Repair Kit may be needed to fill in the space.

Many types of tile have lots of color variation and swirls, so it may need a bit of artistry to match all the colors as they go across the tile (and replacement of the whole tile may be a better option). It will be easier to match if the tile is all one color, or if the chip or crack is only in a small area with one color.
Finally, if the tile is very slick or smooth, you may want to lightly sand it so the surface is slightly roughened, to allow for the paint to stick better. As always, make sure the surface is free from all debris (dust, dirt, etc.) and oil, and wash the surface with soap and water and let thoroughly dry, before painting.
