Toilet chip repair for Balintore homes

Honest limits

In fairness, 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)

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans

Toilet chip repair in Balintore, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, in porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Advice

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a 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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK
