Toilet Chip Repair in Besses o' th' Barn

- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour-matched on site
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Toilet chip repair in Besses o' th' Barn without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
