Toilet chip repair in The Lymes, done in place

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can help, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlords, agents and businesses in The Lymes

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Lymes as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow an hour or two, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

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

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for The Lymes

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Do you work in The Lymes?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to The Lymes from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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 will say what we think.
