About our toilet chip repair in Juniper Green

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 you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

What we are called out for in Juniper Green

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Common reasons people in Juniper Green contact us include:

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

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Juniper Green

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
