Toilet chip repair in Great Canfield, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Great Canfield?

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Do you hold any accreditations?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Canfield use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
