How we handle toilet chip repair in Milton Combe

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 before you book.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Milton Combe

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Milton Combe. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two hours.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
