Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Arddleen
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Arddleen
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you cover Arddleen?
We do. We send a technician to Arddleen for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
