Sheffield1438 Porcelain Touch-Up Almond

works great

Has a small chip on my cast iron kitchen sink . Color matched and this product is easy to apply . So far , it is still there and hard to locate .

I've been using the white Sheffield Porcelain Touch-Up for many years. When my bathroom sink, which is a beige color chipped, I thought I'd try the almond shade to repair it. Although not a perfect match it blends in nicely and the color difference is barely noticeable. Sheffield is a wonderful product, I only wish they would expand their color choices.

My rental house has those cheap, almondy-blotchy 10" ceramic tiles that you can buy at "LowesDepo" for $0.67. They are everywhere, and the glaze is cracking, chipping and from-the-factory not even in the deeper texture. The issue is that in any chip, crack or pin-hole, the dark brown of the clay shows through, making it look like there is a piece of dirt on the floor. Absolutely maddening to clean your floor and have it still look like there is dirt all over it... And of course you have to stop and see if it IS dirt or a chip, so you are testing chips all over and sort of memorizing where the bigger chips are from last time. Ugh! Previously, I had matched the color with some acrylic paint in spots in the kitchen, but over time my acrylic paint just wore off, and the texture attracted more dirt. Fail.So I was looking for a longer term solution and thought about porcelain paint.This Sheffield Porcelain paint really did the trick! The small brush in the cap makes it easy to get the paint way down in the tile chip. I just wipe any excess of with a paper towel, and that feathers the edge of the porcelain paint into the tile color. Yes, it took forever to do a small area (each tile has about 2 to 40 chips, cracks and pin-holes in the glaze), but good gracious the floor looks SO much better! Now when I mop, the floor looks CLEAN! The color is a good match, and the sheen is very nice and smooth. It is not holding dirt like the acrylic did, and it is really holding up to traffic.CONS:Super smelly. Just like nail polish. Don't use this on a big surface (like your entire bathroom floor) without a respirator, ventilation and privacy (i.e. don't use this around kids or pets)Overall, a big win. And whoever gets this house next will never appreciate how bad it was ;)

The product was very good and matched ok. A little too light. Buy a tan or brown if available to mix with it and it may be perfect for you! The low rating is purely because the brush was bent or curved permanently so the tip couldn’t be used. I used a tiny art brush which worked ok. If you get a nice straight brush you can give it more stars! It appears that it will come off any time with fingernail polish remover no matter how long it has dried so not too sure about longevity but it looks much better than when I started with a big gouge. It’s easy to use as long as you put it on carefully a little at a time. If used too freely it takes much longer to dry. Wait between coats. I waited 24 hours each time.

I feel this product is expensive for such a small bottle but I used it several years ago and it does a great job of covering up defects in porcelain. It has held up well over time and when more damage occurred, I re-order a product that I can trust.

My 16 years old home has almond colored porcelain tiles in the kitchen. Over the years, the tiles became chipped and marred in some areas due to kids dropping cups and heavy toys on the floor. It has become such an eyesore that I was even considering replacing the tiles with something stronger like granite. Then I did some research and found this product on Amazon and decided to try it. The stuff comes in a little bottle with a small applicator attached to the cap. It takes only a tiny amount to cover small blemishes in the tiles. I was able to cover all the chipped and blemished tiles with less than a quarter of the contents of the very small bottle. I let it dry overnight and by next morning I could not tell where I had the chips and blemishes. They were all completely gone. The color perfectly matched with the almond tiles. This product works amazingly if you can exactly match the colors.

This worked pretty good. The color didn't match perfectly but, in general, it solved the problem.
