Toilet chip repair in Barnardiston without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can normally put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
