Toilet chip repair in Tatenhill without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, on toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
