Toilet chip repair in Thorney Holme

How we handle toilet chip repair in Thorney Holme

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, across porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Thorney Holme

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
