Toilet chip repair in Carlton without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Carlton and across Bedford Borough. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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 you book.

What we work on

Pedestals
Porcelain
Vitreous china
Toilet pans

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
It’s sanded flush.
We match the colour to the glaze.
Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Have a window or extractor fan available
Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

The type of damage
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
How hard the colour is to match
What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

Where you are, by postcode
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A clear, close picture of the problem area
A wider photo showing the entire toilet

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Carlton: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Do you work in Carlton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Carlton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
