Toilet chip repair at your home in Ridge

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 don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, across cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Ridge

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a 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. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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