Toilet chip repair for Lawshall homes

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Toilet chip repair in Lawshall without replacing anything

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 will say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lawshall. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Lawshall?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can landlords book you?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Lawshall

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
