About our toilet chip repair in Kingholm Quay

A crack that leaks can’t 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 the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingholm Quay

If you manage property in Kingholm Quay, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Kingholm Quay

  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
