Toilet chip repair in Birchwood without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, across toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 generally the cheaper route.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
