In this video I show you how I fix a chipped porcelain mug at home using a simple sanding-and-painting approach that gives you a clean, believable finish without overcomplicating it. I take you through the basic workflow I use as a trained china restorer—tidying the damaged edge, smoothing the chip so it blends back into the original profile, and then building colour carefully so the repair doesn’t jump out at you. If you enjoy satisfying before-and-after transformations, this is a really practical one you can copy with a small kit of materials. I also talk through the materials I trust for this kind of DIY ceramic repair: good abrasives, reliable acrylics, and a glazing medium to help the sheen match the surrounding ceramic. I’ve added links to my materials shop and my full Udemy course if you want a complete start-to-finish system for chips, cracks, and breaks. The big takeaway is to work patiently: sand in stages, keep checking the shape in the light, and build paint in thin layers so you can stop exactly when it looks right.
