Toilet chip repair in Grange Mills without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Grange Mills

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Grange Mills, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Grange Mills. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

A new 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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
