How we handle toilet chip repair in Garnsgate
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Garnsgate. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in Garnsgate and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
