Book toilet chip repair in Hernston

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Toilet chip repair in Hernston without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Common questions in Hernston

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot 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’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hernston. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Hernston?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A fixed quote before booking

Read our prices page.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material 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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
