Toilet chip repair in Coxhoe, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can usually put it right, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Coxhoe

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
