How we handle toilet chip repair in Swallow

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Swallow, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Repairing versus replacing in Swallow

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Our hiring checklist

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
