About our toilet chip repair in Springhill

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to an hour or two, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Can I fix it myself?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Springhill. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
