Toilet chip repair for Camulodunum homes

Repairing versus replacing in Camulodunum

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Camulodunum. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

About our toilet chip repair in Camulodunum

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
