What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes one to two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

About our toilet chip repair in Harbledown

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Harbledown

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you come to Harbledown?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Harbledown and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Harbledown. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Harbledown, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
