Toilet chip repair in Abbeyhill

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Abbeyhill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Abbeyhill

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can normally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our full price list.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Can landlords book you?
