Toilet chip repair in Lank without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, in cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes an hour or two, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

When to call us in Lank

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

FAQs for Lank

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
