Toilet chip repair near Smith's Wood

Toilet chip repair in Smith's Wood, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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. We work on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Smith's Wood

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Smith's Wood. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Smith's Wood get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Smith's Wood?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.
