Sheffield 1438 Porcelain Touch-Up Almond

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 ;)

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.

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.

...to get this? For years I lived with an ugly chip in my enameled sink. I hated going into my kitchen with that ugly chip staring me in the face. I heard of enamel cover-ups, but so-called helpers in my local home improvement stores (won't mention names but their names start with L and H-I) assured me such products only came in white. I was delighted to find it in almond. It matches my sink almost completely and you have to get real close to see the patch. it was easy to brush on. It flaked off once -- probably because I didn't clean off the surface sufficiently -- but I reapplied it and it has stayed on. The bottle has enough product in it for hundreds of 1/2 to 1-inch touch ups. Thank you, Sheffield. You saved me from having to replace the sink!

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.

Fantastic Product -- Retailer was very good at packing and delivery. I live in Texas where the temps have been in the 3-digits and many times above 110 this year. That's bad enough but we've had only 8-9 inches of rain all year. Out house is built on a concrete foundation like so many others in central Texas. With the drought and the high temps, the ground being mostly of clay, was shrinking like crazy. Out foundation had dried out and was beginning to shift, causing the tile to crack. I began to water the foundation using soaker hoses. After building up moister in the soil to stop any further cracking, I began to fix the tile. The product was perfect for fixing porcelain tile. After feathering in some colored veins, the tile is like new again.

It’s easy to put on, however it’s thinner then I had hoped, it does work and is close so if you want to cover a spot it will work it can be sanded if you want but only lightly all and all it’s ok 👍

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!
