Book toilet chip repair in Spring Cottage

Repair or replace in Spring Cottage?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Toilet chip repair in Spring Cottage, done in place

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 tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, in porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Spring Cottage

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Spring Cottage use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Spring Cottage, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
