Toilet chip repair at your home in Allaleigh

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can typically put it right, on toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Allaleigh

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

When to call us in Allaleigh

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Allaleigh, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
