Trusted toilet chip repair in Hunters Quay

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Toilet chip repair in Hunters Quay without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We are often asked to fix damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, on toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Hunters Quay

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hunters Quay. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes an hour or two. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Get a quote

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PA23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
