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.
