Toilet chip repair at your home in Holmesfield
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 say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
