Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
About our toilet chip repair in Ayres End
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. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, across vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Ayres End questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Ayres End?
We do. Technicians travel to Ayres End from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
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.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
