How we handle toilet chip repair in Tattenhoe

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Our technicians work on porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

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

Materials we work on in Tattenhoe

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in Tattenhoe

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole toilet

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
