Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Toilet chip repair at your home in Horfield

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Choosing a repair company

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bristol and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horfield as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 normally cheaper.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Horfield

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you cover Horfield?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Horfield for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
