Book toilet chip repair in Irby in the Marsh

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, across vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Irby in the Marsh and across Lincolnshire. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
