Repair Porcelain

 

You don't have to live with that cracked porcelain sink. It's easy to fix.

Make sure that the surface is completely dry. You may even want to aim your hair dryer at it on low for a minute or so just to be certain.

Get an epoxy adhesive to fill the crack. Make sure that you don't get the fast setting kind, because that won't hold up to water. Follow the package directions for mixing the two parts of the epoxy together. Then use a toothpick or an eye shadow applicator without the sponge on it to fill in the crack, and smooth out the repair.

Let the repair stand for about 24 hours.

When the epoxy has set, you can paint it with some appliance paint.

Now if you just have a chip out of some porcelain it's even easier to fix. Pick up a porcelain/enamel repair kit. This kit is has both a filler and paint that you mix together and paint on like a nail polish.
