DIY Kit for Adapting and Framing Non-Standard Replacement Tiles.
The user is facing a familiar DIY challenge: a replacement tile doesn't quite fit the original space on their patio table, leaving an awkward gap. There's an opportunity here to create a product that solves this problem elegantly. A "Tile Gap Filler & Customizer Kit" could be just the solution. It could include:
- Moldable, weatherproof, and color-matching epoxy putty or grout.
- A set of flexible, trimmable, decorative border strips (like metallic, wood-grain, or mosaic-style) with strong, outdoor-grade adhesive.
- Small spacers or shims to ensure even gaps if multiple smaller tiles are used.
This would allow the user to either fill the gap seamlessly or create a deliberate, decorative border around the smaller tile, enhancing the table's appearance. Revenue would come from selling these specialized kits online and through home improvement stores, targeting DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking for quick, aesthetic repairs. Given how common tile is in outdoor furniture and home projects, and the frequent issue of non-standard replacement sizes, this product has a significant potential market.
