Toilet chip repair at your home in Clifton Village

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Our technicians work on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

10 questions to ask before booking

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes an hour or two, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Work for landlords and builders

  • Doing more than one item at once

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Clifton Village, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Clifton Village questions

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you come to Clifton Village?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Clifton Village from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.
