Trusted toilet chip repair in Long Bredy

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

How we handle toilet chip repair in Long Bredy

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its 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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
