How we handle toilet chip repair in Exning

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Exning?

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Exning?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Exning. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
