How we handle toilet chip repair in Shere
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shere and across Surrey. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
