Toilet chip repair at your home in Knowle

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Get a quote

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
