Toilet chip repair for Latton homes

About our toilet chip repair in Latton

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

  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. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

We don’t 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.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

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. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Latton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Latton

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Will there be a smell?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Are there extra charges for Latton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. 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.
