Toilet chip repair for Street End homes

Can I fix it myself?

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 frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Street End

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Street End

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Street End customers choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our full price list.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Street End. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Street End questions

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Street End?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CT4 postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Does someone need to be in?

Do you work in Street End?

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes one to two hours.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
