Toilet chip repair near Over

Toilet chip repair in Over, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing in Over

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Over clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Questions from Over

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole toilet

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
