Toilet chip repair for Thorpe Culvert homes

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole toilet

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

About our toilet chip repair in Thorpe Culvert

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

When a repair is not the answer

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorpe Culvert use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow an hour or two, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

Repairing versus replacing in Thorpe Culvert

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Thorpe Culvert?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
