Toilet chip repair in Coryton without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, across toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new 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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

We price from photos 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 you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

What affects the price in Coryton

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Coryton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Coryton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coryton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
