About our toilet chip repair in Horsley
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, across toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Horsley

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
