Toilet chip repair in Coombe, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Coombe and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.

What affects the price in Coombe
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Coombe. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Coombe, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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?
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 the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
