About our toilet chip repair in Staplecross

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace in Staplecross?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire toilet

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Staplecross: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
