China/porcelain repair

Is there any kind of inexpensive kit one can get to repair chips etc in china/porcelain? I don't have the missing piece, so I will need to build this up from whatever I use.

    OK. I've answered my own question! You can buy something called Milliput. It comes in different grades/colours. I bought the super white one. Costs a fiver and you get a two part epoxy system. Cut off equal parts of each and knead them together for about five minutes to mix well. Then use to build up and repair over chips, or use to fix together broken pieces. Works really well and is really effective. Hardens in a few hours and can be sanded, drilled, or whatever you want to do to it. Dishwasher safe (though we don't have one) and can withstand temperatures upto 150C. Since it's a two part system it has a long shelf life. I've been having great fun restoring all the chipped china!
