Book toilet chip repair in Coulderton

The process

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. Most visits take an hour or two.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

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.

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, in vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Coulderton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Coulderton

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are there extra charges for Coulderton?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Coulderton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
