DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Great Burstead
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, across vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
In and around Great Burstead, older homes can have toilets that are hard to replace like for like. Repairing it keeps the bathroom as it is.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.
