- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Calcutt
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you have chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can normally put it right.
In and around Calcutt, older homes can have toilets that are hard to replace like for like. A repair keeps everything matching.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Calcutt?
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. Older homes around Calcutt may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Calcutt. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
