Toilet chip repair for Farnborough homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Farnborough

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans

What affects the price in Farnborough

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
