How Do You Repair a Porcelain Sink?

Like mentioned previously with a ceramic sink, minor cracks in a porcelain sink can also be fixed with an epoxy porcelain repair kit. However, only a professional worker will be able to assess the damage and recommend a repair or replace. The following is a simple breakdown of a porcelain sink repair.

• Evaluate the chip/crack/scratch, in some occasions porcelain touch-up paint can be an easy fix. Remember to get the exact same touch-up paint to the sink’s color.
• Clean the chip/crack with any household cleaner, then dry the area.
• Use sandpaper to scrub only the chip/crack, the rough texture will allow the epoxy to get a proper hold.
• Mix the epoxy porcelain repair kit based on the manufacturer’s instructions. Use a toothpick or brush to only fill in the chip/cracked area(s). When fixing deep chips/cracks, you may need to apply the epoxy in multiple thin layers rather than all at once. Wait 24 hours for one layer to dry, before applying the next one.
• When finished run a straight edge across the chip/crack to make sure that the epoxy is at level with the top of the chip/crack.
• Allow the epoxy to fully dry for at least 24 hours.
• Finally add the touch-up paint over the repaired area. 

This type of repair does require a steady hand, patience and delicacy; hiring a trained professional will accomplish the job, as well as prevent any damages during the repair.
