Toilet chip repair in Sutton Howgrave, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can normally put it right, on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.

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

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Sutton Howgrave, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
