Toilet chip repair at your home in Gunn

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Gunn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gunn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Gunn questions

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Gunn?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Gunn. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX32 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Gunn

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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