Trusted toilet chip repair in Candle Street

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

About our toilet chip repair in Candle Street

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Candle Street as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Candle Street. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP22 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Candle Street

Repair or replace in Candle Street?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.
