What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes an hour or two. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

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

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

How we handle toilet chip repair in Forton

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Forton

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
