How we handle toilet chip repair in Kilnwood Vale
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will 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. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.
Rural addresses like Kilnwood Vale just need a little planning, and we will organise the visit.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.
