Toilet chip repair in Standish, done in place

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

Every job is backed for twelve months in Standish and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The process

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.

We clean and dry the damaged area.
We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
We sand it flush.
The glaze is colour matched and finished.
The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Let us know if it has been repaired before

How we price toilet chip repair

The colour and finish to match
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Repair or replace in Standish?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
