Toilet chip repair for Banstead homes

Toilet chip repair in Banstead without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Banstead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow an hour or two.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Banstead, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Banstead: your questions answered

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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