Sheffield 1438 Porcelain Touch-Up Almond

This matched the almond color of our porcelain bathtub perfectly. We had two very small chips on the bottom near the drain, one about 1/2 inch in diameter and one even smaller which stuck out horribly due to the dark color. I tried to "paint" on the product like nail polish and had awful results as it got everywhere i didn't want it to. It wiped off easily before having time to dry. On my second attempt, I lightly touched the tip of the brush where the chip was a few times and allowed the liquid to flow into the void which filled both areas exactly. After drying for ~6 hours, I cannot see where the chips were unless I look very closely. I didn't even bother with a second coat. No clue how this would work out for larger chips or heavy damage, but was an incredible experience for the minor damage in our bathtub.

I had two almond colored porcelain sinks that had several large black chips. I wasn't expecting them to look like new, but I was really surprised how well it covered the chips. You can hardly see where it was repaired. It was very easy to use -- just like applying nail polish -- and the color blended in perfectly. The sinks look so much better than before. I am very pleased with the results and would highly recommend this product.

It did the trick to cover the ding in my sink but the color options are just too rigid. My sink was 20 years old and it was not a true white nor was it an almond. I had read online that you could mix the two, which helped a bit but it did not come out as a true match and you could always tell. The product itself did its job but color matching is also crucially important and I feel like it did not do well there.

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.

First, please note there is a very slight difference between the almond and the bisque. Bisque is lighter. I was not sure which to buy, so I bought both. I just moved into a new house and the stove top was pristine. Then I dropped a large spice jar from the top of the cabinet over the stove onto the stove, and took a large chip out of it. It would cost hundreds to replace the stove, so I decided to try touching it up. I read the instructions on several touch up products. With some of them you have to apply the liquid porcelain in layers, allowing it to dry overnight for each layer. Then you sand it with 600 grit sandpaper and then buff it to a shine. With Sheffield you just carefully brush it on, let it dry, and voila! fixed stove top. I can't even see where I touched it up. I used the bisque first and it was too light, so I removed it with acetone as the instructions said. Came right off. Then I tried the almond and it was perfect. Would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has a chipped range and a quick and easy fix. Thank you Sheffield for a great product.

I have a cultured marble sink that has some thermal cracking around the drain and thought I would give this a try. I have used Sheffield touch up in the past for porcelain tub repairs and washing machine top repairs and I like that it dries hard. Other brands seem to dry to a hard rubber which is more easily damaged. On my first attempt I found the almond was little too dark so I tried again by mixing some Sheffield white porcelain touch-up and got a close but not exact match. You have to work fast because this product has a fast setup time. You should let it dry for at least two days to get hard enough to sand well. I started with 600 grit wet-dry paper and progressed to 1000 and 2000 grits. These finer grits are available in auto-parts stores. This product also comes in bisque and in a 'filler and repair' version. Sheffield makes about 10 different colors for porcelain repair but anything other than white will be hard to find locally. They also make high temperature paints.

Sorry, but this is just a decent quality paint, a bit thin at that. If you are not careful, it will drop off the little brush that comes with it (and you better have some lacquer thinner handy as it just doesn't wipe off if it gets on your counter top); my brush was slightly messed up (but it still worked after a fashion). You really have to put at least a couple of coats on for it to cover up problems (like on my kitchen sink the almond had worn off and the cast iron black was showing). But, for the money, it does work if you are careful and patient. How long it lasts is open to conjecture.

Le doy esta calificación ya que el vendedor (externo) lo mandó x paquetería normal y no lo pudieron importar, ya que como se trata de barniz o pintura no lo pudieron clasificar de manera correcta. El producto se regresó a su lugar de origen a solicitud mía, ya que el vendedor no mostró interés alguna en ayudar para su liberación de aduana. Y de no haberlo hecho, el producto hubiera pasado a un estatus de abandono y hubiera sido destruído. El vendedor sinceramente deja mucho que desear, pero no soy mala persona y solicite su regreso en lugar de destruirlo... El producto parece bueno pero me quedé con las ganas de probarlo. Muchas gracias a AMAZON por regresarme el dinero, ya que el vendedor todavía grosero me dijo que me regresaría el dinero hasta que recibieran de vuelta el paquete... Me pregunto: y si hubiera caído en estatus de abandono ???? Me hubiera tenido que regresar el dinero y se hubiera perdido su paquete! ....... De nada!
