Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Toilet chip repair in Tapnage, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We’re often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, across pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Tapnage: your questions answered

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover Tapnage?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tapnage for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

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

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

The material
How much damage there is
Where the damage is and how we get to it
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

One picture of the whole toilet
A close-up of the damage, in focus
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
