Toilet chip repair for All Saints' South Elmham homes

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Toilet chip repair in All Saints' South Elmham, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to All Saints' South Elmham. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for All Saints' South Elmham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
