Toilet chip repair in France Lynch, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in France Lynch
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in France Lynch use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
