How we handle toilet chip repair in Lane End

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll 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. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Lane End. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SO21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Lane End questions

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
