Toilet chip repair near Swan Valley

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Toilet chip repair in Swan Valley, 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 will say so if we find one. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can typically put it right, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Swan Valley, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
