About our toilet chip repair in Kilkenny

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 will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two in most cases. 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. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Kilkenny. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should you replace it?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are

Choosing a repair company

Kilkenny: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Kilkenny?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work in Kilkenny?

We do. Technicians travel to Kilkenny from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kilkenny as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
