TRANSCRIPT:
Today we are finally getting rid of that chip in our tub. Clean the area really well so that your porcelain fix doesn't trap any dirt or grime. Next, tape off your tub chip. You can see I used painter's tape because that's what I had on-hand. You can use masking tape, just make sure to affix it really well so that your putty doesn't seep underneath the edges.

I use Milliput superfine two-part putty in white. Mix the two parts well to activate it. I wet my fingers first to keep it from sticking. Smooth it into your tub chip to fill the damaged area completely. Use a spackling knife or straight razor blade to scrape away the excess. Then, smooth it back out with your finger. Wetting your tools can help eliminate any creases or ridges in the Milliput.

Gently remove the masking tape and smooth any raised edges back down. Run your wet finger over the area until it feels flush with the rest of the tub and let it dry for a few hours.

Use wet/dry sandpaper to sand with a moistened 800 grit, and follow up with a wet 1500 grit. Sheffield porcelain touch-up paint will help it match your tub. Dry overnight and finish up with a wet 1500 grit sanding.

You'll see that ours doesn't match perfectly. We could have used Tints-All to dye the porcelain paint, but this is close enough for us.

Hi!! I just managed to drop a heavy jar on my bath (which I believe is acrylic) and it caused a chip on the surface - much like yours. Assume this stuff is also fine with acrylic??

[moongkow]

Thank you very much for the video! I did it exactly as you instructed and it worked out great.

What happens if some of the chips have started to rust can i still do the job and will it be safe and work?

[auzyham]

Buy bisque and white sheffield paint, mix the two together until you get the desired shade to match your tub! Great tutorial!

[simplytruth]

Could bondo putty work as well? Thanks

[shooden]

is this a good repair if i plan on also reglazing my tub?

Great video. Love that it's to the point. Would this fix work okay for a cast iron clawfoot tub with a chip on the main interior (near the drain)?

I have a shower made by Aquaglass....it is not porcelain. Would this work? It is not a big hole..just a couple of scratches that my dog gouged with his toenails.
