Toilet chip repair for Gibraltar homes

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

Toilet chip repair at your home in Gibraltar

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Gibraltar

Do you work in Gibraltar?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gibraltar for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it messy?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Gibraltar. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gibraltar use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Gibraltar clients choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

Common problems we fix in Gibraltar

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
