Toilet chip repair at your home in Langley Park

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, across vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Langley Park

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes an hour or two, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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 pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Langley Park, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
