How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

About our toilet chip repair in Atherington

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, across pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Atherington?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Questions from Atherington

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

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.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.
