Great porcelein tub chip repair
This is my experience. I had a brand new Bootz brand porcelein tub that got a chip in it from dropping a tile. (Frowney face.) This kit has EVERYTHING you need. And it is so simple to do. I can't imagine why anyone would have bad reviews or experiences with this. Mix equal parts of A & B containers. Mix well. Then mix again. A little goes a long ways. Mix and mix some more. Apply in moderate coats. Don't glob it on. You can add more once it dries. I had a pretty deep chip but I gave it a little more then 24 hours to dry. Sanded it very well. Wiped the debris off. Reapplied. It isn't 100% but it's pretty close. I'm pleased with the ease of the product, the repair outcome, and the price is much better then having a professional come out. First pic is the chip, 2nd pic is the 1st repair, and 3rd is final outcome.

This is Great Product, not Perfect, but Really Useful
I used this stuff to plug a couple of ugly 1/4" holes in white subway style tiling in a bathroom. (Four holes actually.) We had found these toilet paper holders that swing up to easily replace rolls instead of doing the finger stick in between, etc. Great. Dad can install it! Dad does lots of DIY. Dad builds all kinds of stuff. Dad... uhhh... dad used the wrong sizing template and left some extra holes in the beautiful tile. So not great. But mom's eye roll is working just fine.Originally, I'd tried wood putty and some paint as I didn't know about this stuff. But the repair was really obvious. Found this stuff, tried it. Happy with it. It's not a perfectly unnoticeable repair. It's just a little whiter than the surrounding tile. I could probably have adjusted that and maybe sanded just a little better. Still, at this point you really kind of have to be looking for it to see a problem vs earlier when it was pretty obvious someone just drilled a bad hole. In our case, it's mostly behind the toilet paper roll. Still, you were able to see the flaw in the wall easily enough. Now, not really.Mixing is easy. You do have to eyeball the amount, but that's not hard and it's not like you need it perfectly exact. It mixes fine. I brought my own paint scrapers with me to the repair area, but the little spatula things they had in their kit were just fine. They're cheapie little throwaway pieces of plastic, but they're fine for getting small bits of work done. It took me a couple of tries and passes to get the smoothness I'd wanted. For me, the trick was not to try to put a ton of force to scape a perfectly flush area, but rather be smooth across the repair area with a firm, but lighter touch. This left the holes almost, but not perfectly flush. After waiting the day to make sure perfectly dry, a tiny bit of gentle sending took out the very small edge that was slightly proud of the hole. And that was pretty much that. Ideally we won't have more problems, but we'll see how long the stuff stores since I didn't need that much, even for four 1/4" holes.

Fortivo tub and tile repair
This is a good product. Works well. Bought a second time and just let it set until I needed it. Should of checked when I first got it. Needed it for job. When I opened found already had been used and pieces missing. What I get for not checking when I first received it. Somebody used and sent back to company. Apparently company didn't check either

Could work for your needs, but didn't work for mine.
This product is wonderfully simple to use: you mix the two parts in equal amount and apply it wherever the damage is. It then dries over the course of a few days and you're ready to go. You'll probably need to sand down the area to cover up your brush strokes, but it comes with a fine grit sandpaper for this purpose.My only complaint is that it's a lot more translucent than I expected. Maybe it's something to do with my tub, but when the white exterior flaked away, it revealed a brown layer from underneath. This product did a really good job covering up those gaps and preventing any more potential spread, but you can also still easily see where that damage was.For a relatively poor first time home owner, this was perfect for me. It fixed my problem and stopped me from potentially needing to get a professional in or to replace the whole bathtub. The fact that it doesn't look perfect isn't an issue because I no longer need to worry about the growing cracks every time I took a shower.UPDATE: A few weeks after applying it, the tub started to flake off more, even in the area where I applied. I don't know if it was a result of underlying damage to those areas or if this product itself was failing. Either way, we ended up needing to pay for a full professional reglazing.

Takes a Few Layers
We have had our tub re-porcelain a couple times at $200 a time. So we thought we would try ourselves. Pics show prior to applying, after one layer and then the last is after 3 layers.Few things to pass along:1. When applying, use the spatula to make as smooth as possible - you want to sand the least amount. I had a thick bumpy layer and it took a long time to sand down. I did have to use some 120 grit sandpaper to sand out.2. The white color is a little opaque, so when applied to an area where the actual dark color was showing through it took a lot of coats.3. Very easy to mix the two parts. We re-used the cup several times and found it better to wipe down bowl and spatula with a dry paper towel than wet. Wet made it very sticky and hard to remove.4. Found it dried very easily.5. Even with applying 3-4 coats, we have more than half left to use again.I would definitely recommend because in the end, it doesn’t look perfect but it definitely looks better than it did and buys us time for if/when we redo the entire tub.Recommendation to company is if there is a way to make more white.
