About our toilet chip repair in Somerford
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Somerford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Advice
Common questions in Somerford
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What else we do in Somerford
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
