Toilet chip repair near Dilwyn

Toilet chip repair in Dilwyn without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, in vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Dilwyn?

Replacing a toilet means 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 charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dilwyn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Dilwyn, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
