Trusted toilet chip repair in Foleshill

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 generally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Foleshill

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Foleshill as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Foleshill: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
