Toilet chip repair in Preston-le-Skerne, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We work on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Preston-le-Skerne
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
