About our toilet chip repair in Briningham
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’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, across pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Briningham as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Briningham
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Briningham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Briningham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Briningham
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

How quickly can you book me in?

Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
