Ankita Tub & Sink (epoxy) repair kit really works, I had a porcelean sink crack with three very long cracks which ranged in 10 to 12 inches long. I figured the sink was done for. However I was willing to try this product since I really didn't want to have a remodeler come into the house during artic temperatures of single digits and have to replace a sink that was mounted below a large granite countertop - it's a massively complex job due to the way it was installed many years ago. The Ankita Tub & Sink epoxy fixed the cracks perfectly sealing them and the white matched up perfectly with the color of the sink. I am extremely happy with the results, and highly recommend this product. It was a straight forward job and not hard if you follow the instructions. For best results I recommend that you also do the following: 1) The white tape that came with product is good and works, however it was almost the same color as the sink so I substituted blue painter's tape instead and it was much easier to do the job because it offered a contrast between the white sink I was repairing. I noticed that the picture of the Ankita Tub & Sink epoxy kit shows blue tape, but mine came with white tape. 2) Search for the product on YouTube and watch a few of the videos of users doing sink and tub repairs. It makes it so much easier to do the job because you'll know the techniques so you get the best results. 3) DO NOT RUSH THE REPAIR JOB, this is a take your time and do it right type of job, give yourself a whole afternoon. 4) Take your time sanding, use the tougher grit sanding paper in the Ankita kit first and and then the smoother grit last. You want to treat the sanding as if you sanding an art project, the more carefully you sand it the better it will turn out. 5) If your cracks go all the way through the sink (like all my three cracks did), make sure to seal the bottom of the sink too. I would have sealed the bottom with the Ankita Tub & Sink epoxy but nobody sees the bottom of the sink so I decided to use J-B Weld (black colored) Epoxy (Professional cold weld #8281) since it's industrial strength epoxy. The way you can tell if the cracks go all the way through the sink is that water leaks from the bottom of the sink where the cracks are located. When I sealed the top with the sink with teh Ankita Tub & Sink kit, no water dripped or poured from the bottom of the sink so I know if worked. However the cracks on the bottom of the sink were still there and I was afraid if in the future during cold or warm weather the cracks below may expand or cause future weakness. The J-B weld sealed the cracks perfectly in the bottom of the sink. In closing the Ankita repair kit saved me a lot of money and aggravation. It's an inexpensive tub and sink repair kit that really works! Read more

This tub repair kit was quite easy to use and did a good job repairing a bad 2 inch circular spot where the soap sits. However, the color I ordered was not an exact match so it still looks less than perfect. Had the color matched it would have been a superb repair, my fault. Read more
Did not expect this to work because my sink was damaged badly! Cracked in different directions all the way though with chips missing. I was about to rip it out and replace it but I thought i give this a shot and see what happens. I sealed the cracks from the bottom with crazy glue gel and used this kit in on the top. It filled, sealed, and blended prefect. I can’t even see where it was damaged anymore. And it holds water without leaking! Easy to use too. Just follow the simple instructions and it will come out great! Didn’t do a before picture but here is after the repair. (Ignore the stripes, those are shadows). I could even do a second coat to make it disappear completely. Read more
If you are patching a hole, be advised that you should use mesh that’s appropriate for the surface you’re trying to repair. This kit does NOT contain mesh. You will need to order it separately. We knew enough to order and use mesh and the repair turned out fine. Mixed and applied properly, the resin works fine. There is no good reason for them not to include a small amount of mesh. It’s cheap and will create a lasting patch… Read more
Great value, after years if using porcelain touch up that didn't hold up tried this. The color match to the sink is excellent where the touch up paint always sticks out as a bright white. Allowed it to dry overnight and sanded to a smooth texture and it is hardly noticeable. Can't comment directly in durability but initial application adheres well and it looks like it will hold up and last much longer than touch up enamel Read more
