Toilet chip repair in Burley Woodhead

Toilet chip repair in Burley Woodhead, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Burley Woodhead?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Burley Woodhead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow one to two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
