About our toilet chip repair in Ballinger Common

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, in toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • What it’s made of, if you know

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
