Toilet chip repair near The Chessels

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why The Chessels customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Toilet chip repair at your home in The Chessels

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, across porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to The Chessels. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BS3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in The Chessels

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

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 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 colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
