About our toilet chip repair in Austwick

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 you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Choosing a repair company

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Austwick. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
