Toilet chip repair for Stratton homes

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Toilet chip repair in Stratton without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We’re often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, across porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Stratton

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Stratton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
