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, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Coombe

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

For a price in Coombe, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

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. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coombe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in Coombe

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Coombe

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
