Ceramic Tub Repair?
+10
I am researching to fix a few dings, and the bottom of my tub. There is a lot of confusing info. Has anyone here done this? I am looking for the easiest way because I want to do it myself. Also - the least amount of toxicity. Thank you!

Hello. I have only fixed a fiberglass tub bottom surface cracks. A repair until renovation could be done. Hopefully someone help here might offer some advice and support.
I did an epoxy based repair on a sink that was porcelain over cast iron. You have to mix a couple of things together. You might consider a bath resurfacing kit like RustOleum. It has some fumes so I would make sure to have a fan in the room to pull them out.
If it's only a few dings you can use a porcelain repair kit

Thanks, everyone. I guess I should have been more specific. I can search for videos on youtube myself. I am more interested in what my fellow hometalkers have used.
There are patch kits. They all smell. I would wear a mask and open all the windows. The key to all of these products is prep. You need to make sure the area is clean and dry before you start and all loose chips of paint should be removed. Hope that helps a bit.
Every fix is going to be stinky unfortunately. You can get patch kits and kits that will repaint. You can certainly do this yourself but just as an FYI, it won't be a permanent fix and it won't last as long as having a pro come in and do it. In either case, these are temporary fixes.
