Toilet chip repair near Comely Bank

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Toilet chip repair in Comely Bank without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

What affects the price in Comely Bank

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
