Toilet chip repair in Chalk without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will 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 normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Chalk. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Chalk. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Chalk?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Chalk

Do you cover Chalk?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chalk for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
