I've got this annoying little crack in my porcelain sink that's been bugging me for weeks now. I looked online and saw there's these DIY repair kits you can buy—seems pretty straightforward, but I'm kinda skeptical it'll actually look good. On the other hand, hiring a pro sounds pricey for such a tiny crack, you know? Has anyone tried either option, and did it turn out decent or just end up a mess?
Honestly, those DIY kits are kinda hit or miss. My dad had a similar issue last year—small crack, porcelain sink—and he thought he'd save some cash going the DIY route. It looked decent at first, but over time it started discoloring and just ended up more noticeable than before. I'd say if you're picky about aesthetics, you might wanna bite the bullet and get a pro in...or just leave it alone if it's not leaking or anything.
Have you considered what type of DIY kit your dad used? Some kits are definitely better quality than others, and prep work can make a huge difference. I've seen cases where careful sanding and proper curing time made the DIY fix last pretty well. Also, is the crack in a highly visible spot or somewhere less noticeable? If it's tucked away, maybe aesthetics aren't as big a deal...
