Toilet chip repair for Potto homes

About our toilet chip repair in Potto

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can generally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Potto

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

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

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Potto?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Potto

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Potto?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes an hour or two in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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 will not last.
