Toilet chip repair at your home in Colton Lane End
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, across cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

FAQs for Colton Lane End
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
