Toilet chip repair in Arclid without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, across porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
FAQs for Arclid
Do you come to Arclid?
We do. We send a technician to Arclid for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Arclid?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
