Default Bathtub porcelain

Just a small amount of porcelain has worn away near the bathtub drain.
Is there any product/ paint that can actually cover the worn away portion?

Forty years ago (in an apartment) I tried bathtub repair paint but it
soon discolored and wore away . Just wondering if there is now a product
that actually works for at least a couple of years.

Search for tub & sink restoration places near you. I've had it done
many times with outstanding results for properties I owned. YMMV

My kitchen sink finish is over 10 years old and looks new.

The portion is very small, it hardly seems worth it.

It does not bother me but my wife does not like it.


thanks

Since the small uncoated portion is in the recessed area right around
the drain I just put a bead of white bathtub caulk around it.
Wife didn't complain so I'm off to my next project
