Toilet chip repair in Bourton without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, across pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send pictures?

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Swindon.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two hours.

First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
We sand the repair level.
The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
The repair is polished so it blends in.
