Toilet chip repair in Boundary without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boundary use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Staffordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
