Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Old Whittington
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
