Hi @bronc,

For a minor chip like that, I'd recommend the

https://www.bunnings.com.au/rust-oleum-13-3ml-white-tub-and-tile-touch-up-kit_p0396412

. It's designed specifically for repairing chips, scratches and small imperfections on ceramic, porcelain and enamel bathroom surfaces, making it a good option for a white ceramic sink.

Before applying, clean the area thoroughly with soap and water to remove any dirt, grease or contaminants, then rinse and allow it to dry completely. If there are any loose edges around the chip, gently remove them and lightly sand the area if needed. The kit uses a two-part formula that is mixed prior to application, then applied in thin, even coats. For deeper chips, additional coats can be applied, allowing around 10 minutes between each coat.

Once applied, the repair will be touch dry in approximately 20 minutes and can be handled after about an hour. For best results, leave the repaired area for 3 days before exposing it to water, as this allows the coating to fully cure and achieve maximum durability.

For a small chip like this, it will provide a neat, long-lasting repair that blends in well with the existing finish.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
