Trusted toilet chip repair in Pitminster

Toilet chip repair in Pitminster, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Repairing versus replacing in Pitminster

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our pricing.

What affects the price in Pitminster

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Pitminster

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pitminster as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Pitminster questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work in Pitminster?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Pitminster and the rest of Somerset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
