A porcelain sink can be a great addition to your bathroom, but even this easy-to-clean surface can be chipped or nicked! It only takes a jar of cream or bottle of perfume falling on just the right corner to cause an unsightly nick. This may seem like a big emergency, but when you encounter a small chip on your porcelain sink, our emergency plumbing team in Dallas TX recommends rolling up your sleeves and fixing it yourself!

What you'll need:
medium-grit sandpaper

rubbing alcohol

clean cloths

razor blade

porcelain sink repair kit (Matching the sink's color)

nail polish remover

cotton swabs

gloves

Thoroughly clean the area and make sure that it dries completely before continuing.

Next, sand the chipped area's edges down with medium-grit sandpaper. This ensures that the area is flat and easy to work with. Make sure to not scratch the porcelain around the chipped area because it will dull the finish.

While ...
... using gloves, apply rubbing alcohol to the area with a clean cloth. Remove all dust and debris, then allow it to dry.

Follow the directions included with the repair kit, which can be found at most home improvement stores, and mix the color to best match your sink. Using your gloves, apply the mixture with the razor blade and fill the entire area. Use the razor to smooth the edges until they are flush with the rest of the surface.

Wipe up any excess with a damp cloth. If you find that an area is hard to clean, soak a cotton swab with nail polish remover then gently rub it along the edge.

If a glaze was included in the repair kit, follow the directions on how to apply.

Allow the area to dry for 24 hours. However, we suggest playing it safe and keeping the area clean and dry for a few days.

Pat yourself on the back and enjoy your chip-free sink!

Though you may still notice where the broken piece was, it's unlikely that your guests will.
