Toilet chip repair in Eaton upon Tern without replacing anything

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 will tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Eaton upon Tern get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Eaton upon Tern?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
