Choosing a repair company

About our toilet chip repair in Preston

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, in vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Preston

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What a repair can’t fix

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
