How we handle toilet chip repair in Columbia
A crack that leaks cannot 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. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, on vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Columbia?
Replacing a toilet means 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
