About our toilet chip repair in Clifton

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Clifton

Are there extra charges for Clifton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Clifton included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you cover Clifton?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

When a repair is not the answer

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)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
