Book toilet chip repair in Ewden Village

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Ewden Village

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 say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can normally put it right, on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Choosing a repair company

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two hours, tidy-up included.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 before you book.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
