Trusted toilet chip repair in Richborough Port

Toilet chip repair in Richborough Port without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans.

In and around Richborough Port, older homes can have toilets that are hard to replace like for like. Repairing it keeps the bathroom as it is.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Richborough Port

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Richborough Port use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. For a rural home like those around Richborough Port, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.

Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Richborough Port?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

If you let a flat or house near Thanet Parkway station (about 1.8 miles north), we repair toilets between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.
