How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cosham. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Cosham and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

About our toilet chip repair in Cosham

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Cosham

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are there extra charges for Cosham?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.

Before we arrive

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cosham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
