About our toilet chip repair in Astwick
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 usually 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 often lifts.

Questions from Astwick
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?

Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
