Trusted toilet chip repair in Ansteadbrook

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Ansteadbrook

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ansteadbrook as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

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

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
