Trusted toilet chip repair in Sandy Bottom

Toilet chip repair in Sandy Bottom, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What we’re called out for in Sandy Bottom

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Our hiring checklist

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
