Toilet chip repair in Canton without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, in toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain.

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Questions to ask before you book

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Canton

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

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. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Canton

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Are there extra charges for Canton?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Canton.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Toilet pans
  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Canton clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
