Trusted toilet chip repair in Combs

Toilet chip repair at your home in Combs

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

FAQs for Combs

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow one to two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material 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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Combs, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Combs customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Combs

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Customers generally contact us about:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
