About our toilet chip repair in Buryas Bridge

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can normally put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Choosing a repair company

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Buryas Bridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Buryas Bridge, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Buryas Bridge

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
