  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Lound

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 will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, in pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Lound questions

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Lound?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What affects the price in Lound

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lound

If you manage property in Lound, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
