Toilet chip repair at your home in Drayford

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We’re often asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes an hour or two, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs 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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our pricing.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Drayford questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work in Drayford?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Drayford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
