About our toilet chip repair in East Knighton
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We are often asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china.
Rural addresses like East Knighton just need a little planning, and we will plan the visit around it.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in East Knighton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in East Knighton
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. In an older home in a village like East Knighton, replacing a toilet can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
