Trusted toilet chip repair in Maidencombe

About our toilet chip repair in Maidencombe

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’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can usually put it right, on toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Maidencombe. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TQ1 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Maidencombe?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. 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.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 usually the cheaper route.
