Trusted toilet chip repair in Barmston

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, 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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Toilet chip repair in Barmston, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Barmston and across East Riding of Yorkshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
