What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry

Toilet chip repair in Lower Swanwick without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t 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. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, in porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Swanwick use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Questions from Lower Swanwick

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

When to call us in Lower Swanwick

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the whole UK

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
