About This Project

Bugged by the chips in the porcelain finish of your bathtub, sink, washer or appliance? Porcelain touch-up glaze will hide those blemishes on most every surface except cooktops. For a bathtub or sink, let the repair dry 24 hours before use. Most appliance parts stores stock a $5 repair kit in white but you may need to order colors.

Touch up chips and scratches in the porcelain finish of appliances using a special color-matched repair kit. Start by cleaning the surface, then use the enclosed fine-grit sandpaper to roughen the finish. Apply thin coats of repair fluid, letting them dry completely between coats.
