Our hiring checklist

About our toilet chip repair in Mere Green

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 cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, across toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
