Toilet chip repair at your home in Carndu

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Carndu. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 repair

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

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to an hour or two, tidy-up included.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What affects the price in Carndu

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Carndu. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed price.

Carndu questions

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you come to Carndu?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Carndu. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you cover the entire of Highland?

All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
