It is paint, not really works good for porcelain. AND NOTE, they don't allow to return even you didn't open the package. Really bad buying experience

This is one of those must have products that can save you hundreds but unfortunately becoming impossible to find. Absolutely recommend. Even if it's not a perfect colour match for a cheaper tub, it was for my taps and the job on the bathtub looks a million times better than a black chip mark. Everything is still intact with no flaking or peeling. 100% recommend

I dropped a glass lid on the edge of my refinished claw foot tub. It left a couple chips in the finish. I had used the full size rustoleum epoxy kit originally and it worked great and left a beautiful glossy finish. So I ordered the small repair kit and you can hardly tell where it was repaired. Only I would notice it.

Do NOT believe it when you read on the package that you just need to use this within 24 hours of mixing it. I mixed this last night, left, and came back this morning to put on another coat (only 14 hours later). Unfortunately, the container is full of white rubber. If I knew the product would be unusible in this amount of time, I would have stayed here longer last night and put on the second, and then third, coats before I left.My tub isn't anywhere near being sealed enough for me to continue with the surround installation amd now I have to put out more money for more product. That's not even to mention that I now have to wait over an extra WEEK to be able to finish the tub because a new order won't get to me until next Wednesday (it's currently Thursday). I only have one bathroom in my house and having to go another week with no tub/shower is a HUGE hardship.

EDIT almost three months later looks the same and the patch has held in a 5-person household with shower running daily and baths with bubbles weekly.Tub was reglazed when we bought home. 10 years later it needs to be redone. We plan to redo the space but wanted a tie over until we do. Was looking for simple and cost effective. I used all the paint and did three thin coats. Best tip, use your own brush. Better tip, fresh brush for each coat as I definitely have some brush hairs stuck in there.I wore an N95 and opened windows with an air-purifier running. Smell is gone after 12 hours. Hardest part was drying the tub and prepping as it is our only showering space. I would highly recommend this for a practical fix. If you are looking for aesthetic get a pro.Pics are of 12 hours after treatment and after prep work. I chipped the damage back in hopes of better sealing and the work lasting longer. We plan to put a bath mat over top (which caused the damage in the first place). I wanted to write a review because the reviews and a YouTube video showing how to use the product really helped me.

I had a bathtub that had a lot of wear on it, and my landlord was able to repaint it and make it look nicer. Unfortunately minor cracks would pop up after 6-9 months, and as a preventative measure I picked up this kit to patch those up. It seems to do the trick and covers up the cracked spots well, preventing further splitting. The color is fairly close though I don't really mind that as much as I'm renting and the bathtub isn't perfect to begin with. The paint definitely smells so I would recommend running an air purifier in the bathroom for about 24 hours after application. The only downside is that it totally dries up after about 24-36 hours so you only get a few applications.

I used this to patch some debased area on my sink. Worked perfectly. The only downfall is that my sink is brown and this patch kit comes only in white. Still it did the job and left a hard seal over the debased porous areas where water should not be. One thing to know is you can’t use only part of the bottle and then save the rest ~ it will harder in the jar and is useless.

One of the bottles arrived almost empty. The liquid was poured on the package. Waste of money.

Just follow the instructions, easier than I thought. They don't mention there is a brush in the B bottle, I found it out when putting the A bottle contents into the B bottle. They mean it when they state it is only good for 24 hours. Sometimes I waited longer than the recommended 15 minutes between applications, sanded down the higher stuff, and reapplied. Overall, it took me approx 20 hours to get it where I wanted it. I might mention that the white color is really white. I like the stuff, it worked!

I had a bathtub caddy that scratched my tub that I had previously painted. This was very easy to use for a small repair such as that and it matches pretty much perfectly. It is expensive for the little amount you get but if you just need to touch up a small scratch I think it’s worth it compared to the hassle of refinishing a whole tub again.

I used this to repair two chips on a porcelain bathtub. Both were all the way through to the metal so there was rust that had to be cleaned off first. I used vinegar and salt to clean off as much of the rust as I could, then went over it with a little piece of 320 grit emery paper. Next I mixed the touch up kit and applied it with the supplied brush. The brush is small enough that you can precisely match the edges of the patch to the edges of the chip. However, it holds a surprising amount of the compound so (just like with paint) you have to be careful not to load up it up too much. The compound has approximately the same viscosity as correction fluid and I'm guessing would be difficult to use on anything other than a horizontal surface. Fortunately both of my chips were on the flat ledge surrounding the tub. After applying the compound I allowed three full days for it to cure before exposing the repairs to water. The cured product has a smooth finish, similar to the porcelain itself, although it is raised slightly above the surrounding surface. I suppose if you were really OCD you could do some wet sanding to achieve a perfectly level surface, but I didn't bother with this. So far the repairs have survived two long, hot showers and seem to be holding up well. The only thing preventing me from giving 5 stars is that the color match is not perfect; the compound is somewhat whiter than standard bathtub porcelain. But unless you look closely, it does not jump out at you.Once mixed, the compound must be used within 24 hours, so make sure you identify all needed repairs before beginning.
