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

Toilet chip repair at your home in Hale Common

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can typically put it right, on toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

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. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hale Common. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hale Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
