Toilet chip repair in Kirkgunzeon, done in place

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 the toilet stays in place. We work on toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DG2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Kirkgunzeon

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kirkgunzeon. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Questions from Kirkgunzeon

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
