Toilet chip repair at your home in Chipping Warden

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we’re called out for in Chipping Warden

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt 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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Get a quote

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What affects the price in Chipping Warden

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens after I send photos?

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
