Toilet chip repair at your home in Oving
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
