Toilet chip repair in South Acre

Toilet chip repair in South Acre without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in South Acre, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
