Porcelain enamel cookware is a popular choice for its durability and easy-to-clean surface. However, over time, the enamel coating can chip or crack, leaving the underlying metal exposed. Fortunately, it is possible to repair chipped porcelain enamel with the right tools and techniques.
To repair your chipped porcelain enamel from scratch, you will need to purchase a food-safe epoxy. Use the epoxy to gently fill in the space left from where the vitreous enamel chipped away. Let the epoxy harden slightly, and then press a piece of waxed paper over it. Remove the waxed paper, and let the epoxy dry.
Once the epoxy has dried, you can use 400-grit sandpaper to gently sand the edges of the repaired area so they are flush with the surrounding edges. Take great care not to scratch the nearby enamel coating.
Using a food-safe enamel paint and a paintbrush, cover the epoxy area with a pigment as close in color to the original enamel as possible. Let it dry.
Once you’ve finished the repair process, be sure to wash your enamelware extremely thoroughly to remove all sand or other remnants of the repairs.
If you’re temporarily repairing your enamelware using the method outlined above, you should still plan to replace your cookware or get it professionally repaired for long-term use.
