Toilet chip repair at your home in Boyden Gate
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can help.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
