Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
About our toilet chip repair in Baltasound
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Baltasound
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Repair or replace in Baltasound?
A new toilet means 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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What affects the price in Baltasound
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
