Need toilet chip repair in Dolphin Town?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Dolphin Town

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can usually put it right, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Dolphin Town

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across the Isles of Scilly.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TR24 postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Are you accredited?

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

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
