Toilet chip repair for Avon homes

How we handle toilet chip repair in Avon

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can generally put it right, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes one to two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, 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. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Avon questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Avon included. Travel is included in the price.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
