Toilet chip repair near Risby

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Risby

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can usually put it right, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for an hour or two. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  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.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain
  • Cisterns & lids

Repair or replace in Risby?

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