Trusted toilet chip repair in Chase Cross

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Chase Cross

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Chase Cross as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Chase Cross

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the 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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chase Cross as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
