Toilet chip repair at your home in Speldhurst

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Our technicians work on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in Speldhurst

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Speldhurst, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Speldhurst?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

What we can’t put right

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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Speldhurst questions

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Are there extra charges for Speldhurst?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
