Toilet chip repair for Golden Cross homes

Toilet chip repair in Golden Cross, done in place

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 tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Golden Cross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we’re called out for in Golden Cross

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Golden Cross

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes an hour or two, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
