About our toilet chip repair in Pett Bottom

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Pett Bottom

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Are there extra charges for Pett Bottom?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pett Bottom

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
