Toilet chip repair for Thornton-le-Beans homes

Toilet chip repair in Thornton-le-Beans, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
