About our toilet chip repair in Kip Hill
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Kip Hill
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Kip Hill?

When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Repairing versus replacing in Kip Hill
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
