When to call us in Faifley

- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site

Toilet chip repair in Faifley without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, across toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks water
