slight chip in an enamelled sink

geordief

Can anyone suggest a product that would mend a slight chip in a sink? It is really very small and is only visible because the white porcelain shows up beneath the jet black enamel.
If I could just work in a little product into this tiny area I would not need (yet) to go to the trouble and expense of changing or removing the unit.
There is an invisible hairline crack associated with this chip but there is no movement and of course I realise that nothing (except perhaps unseen reinforcement below with the likes of gorilla tape ) can be done for it.
Does the product acryilic enamel hardener ring a bell?

I would think something like an Epoxy Resin might do the trick/ However the colour might prove a problem being black.

If needs be, you can always get it re-enameled.

Yeah you can get a filler. Boat type enamel. I dropped a tile on my bath and it was quite a dent. Lad fixed it for €80, no need for a new bath and its great.

Not sure geordief. I walked into my local plumbing store and told him my horror story. I thought I was looking at a new bath. The hole was about the size of a two Euro coin. He gave me the number of a lad and he sorted it out. Bath has been used 3-4 times a week since and no probs. Hope it helps.

thanks .Well I typed in "marine enamel" and it seems to exist as a product.Maybe that was what he used.
Actually , for what I have got- a large speck of white porcelain showing beneath the chipped enamel -I think a bit of silicon mastic might do after all.
The colour shouldn't be a problem.

Would car filler do the same job for you,its resin based.

well I would need it to be jet black and I don't know how to colour it - I've never seen it on sale in that colour. I think one of those black silicon mastics would work for me as it is such a small chip.The area is small enough not to need any sanding or even smoothing-just as long as I remove any excess.
I can do nothing with the hairline crack (which is more or less invisible) but I think I will be able to hide the small chip in the enamel itself.

Clear Epoxy would be my solution. You can make it really black by mixing in photocopier toner.
