Toilet chip repair at your home in Porlock Weir

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Questions from Porlock Weir

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you cover the whole of Somerset?

We work UK-wide, so Porlock Weir is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TA24 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Porlock Weir. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Porlock Weir, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
