Toilet chip repair near Hill Green

Toilet chip repair in Hill Green, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Hill Green and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Hill Green

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hill Green. The price depends on:
