How we handle toilet chip repair in Ingham

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Ingham

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

Common problems we fix in Ingham

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ingham. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ingham, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Do you work in Ingham?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ingham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
