How to Fix a Broken Ceramic Coffee Cup

It is quite normal to get in the habit of using a favorite coffee cup or mug; after repeated use, your cup may become chipped or broken. If your ceramic cup breaks, you may not have to run out and buy a new cup if you can repair it at home. Although ceramic is generally a sturdy material, it is prone to chips and even breakage over time. You can repair your ceramic cup on your own in less than 20 minutes instead of spending the money to replace the cup.
