Toilet chip repair at your home in Taverham

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. We are often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, across pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Taverham

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Taverham: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
