About our toilet chip repair in Balladen

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched 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. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, in porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Balladen as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we’re called out for in Balladen

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Look out for any of the following:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repair or replace in Balladen?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Balladen get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Balladen questions

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
