Toilet chip repair in Donington

What affects the price in Donington

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job.

About our toilet chip repair in Donington

We rebuild the damaged area and match it 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’s what we find. We regularly repair toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, 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. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Donington customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to an hour or two, including clearing up.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
