Toilet chip repair near Horsmonden

Toilet chip repair in Horsmonden without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, in pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Horsmonden: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

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

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Horsmonden.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Horsmonden and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
