Toilet chip repair at your home in Bernards Heath

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, on porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bernards Heath. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, 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 work on in Bernards Heath

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
