        "text": "Minor hairline cracks in tiles can often be successfully repaired using epoxy fillers or color-matched grout, especially if the tile is otherwise secure. This method restores the aesthetic and helps prevent further damage. However, larger cracks, cracks that indicate structural issues underneath, or tiles that are severely fractured typically require replacement. The decision often depends on the crack's size, location, and the underlying cause.",
