How we handle toilet chip repair in East Butterwick

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including East Butterwick. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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 normally cheaper.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes one to two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
