Toilet chip repair at your home in Fairwater
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched 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’s what we find. We are often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china.
For a place like Fairwater, toilet chip repair is normally done in a few hours.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

- Marks on the outside of the pan

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. If your toilet in Fairwater is sound, a repair is typically the better choice.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
