Porcelain Sink Chip Repair

[Swatantra100]

They sell rubber "saddles" that prevent such damage.

To jesika1984: If you try it on a larger sized chip, I would use very thin layers of the liquid. You will probably have to use many thin layers, and then try to follow the contour of the surface. Make it level so it blends in!

To TracyG531...I used a product called Porc-a-fix, but they will all work the same. The Homax product that jesika talked about is fine too.

I got something called Porcelain Chip Fix by HOMAX that I got at Lowes!

[jesika1984]

Would this be okay on a bigger chip the size of a nickel if not a bit larger?

[TracyG531]

I WISH YOU WOULD HAVE EITHER SHOWN THE BOTTLE OF PACKAGING OF THE PRODUCT SO I WOULD HAVE A SMALL CLUE OF WHAT TO LOOK FOR AT THE STORE!!! :(

Blending it in is the most challenging part....its a matter of sanding with fine sandpaper (most kits include it in the package) until the area is level with the surrounding area, then buff it to a shine to match the sink or tub. It's best to use several thin layers rather than a thick coat.

the chip is by the drain so i fixed it, now i need to figure how to make it blend into the bath so my room mate doesnt knotice it....

i used some of that on a chip in my bath tub, what i want to know is how to make it look like part of the tub, i can see the chip polish, now i need to make it look as natural as possable... any good ideas?

[prohandymanlv]

It will work on a bath tub also, but I wouldn't rely on it for a large repair. If you have a chip on a flat surface you should be fine, but I would be reluctant if the damage was on a curved surface, such as where the side wall meets the floor of the tub.

@prohandymanlv

Thanks :D

Will this work on a bath tub too? I have a small chip on mine.

You can buy these porcelain repair kits at most home centers. This particular one is called "Porc-a-fix" and can be purchased at Home Depot or Lowes, although other hardware stores have similar products and come in a variety of colors.

do you ever name the product or where it's available?
