Trusted toilet chip repair in Northam

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

How we handle toilet chip repair in Northam

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, in cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Northam

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

What affects the price in Northam

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
