Toilet chip repair in Poolfold, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you have chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Somewhere like Poolfold, an older toilet can be hard to match if replaced. A repair keeps everything matching.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. For a rural home like those around Poolfold, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while toilet chip repair is one trip.

Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Poolfold. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole toilet

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it. Somewhere as small as Poolfold, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
