DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your WA16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
