Toilet chip repair at your home in Monkhams

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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 work on toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, including clearing up.

  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 match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in Monkhams

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Monkhams clients choose us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Monkhams, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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