resurface toilet?
Okay plumbing gurus...
The prior owners of the house we just bought had to young boys that obviously spent a lot of time unsupervised. Now that I've cleaned all the wax out of the dryer (yes, wax. Really.), I'm ready to tackle the toilet.
It looks like the bowl got scraped up on the inside. There are black scrape marks that won't clean off but they don't appear to be deep gouges. I was wondering if there was a way to resurface the inside of the bowl? The rest of the toilet is perfectly fine. I'd rather not replace it if possible.
Any info is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Rachel

There are porcelain repair "kits" at some of the big box stores. How effective they are is unknown to me... Probably impossible to get a perfect color/smoothness match..... but hey... it's inside a toilet, ya know.... whose gonna look that close?

Those young boys probably plugged the toilet up and those black marks are from a snake. Dad probably didn't know about closet augers. Good luck.
