How we handle toilet chip repair in Brooksbottoms

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t 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 cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, across toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids.

For a rural address like Brooksbottoms, tell us about access and parking, and we will plan the visit around it.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes an hour or two for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured. Somewhere like Brooksbottoms needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the toilet chip repair, so there’s no second trip.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
