About our toilet chip repair in The Pound

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The Pound: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including The Pound and the rest of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in The Pound?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Landlords, agents and businesses in The Pound

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take an hour or two, including clearing up.

  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. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
