Book toilet chip repair in Aylesham

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Aylesham

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Aylesham questions

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What about a leaking crack?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Aylesham

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

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

A new 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. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
