Toilet chip repair in Thorpe Larches, done in place

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Thorpe Larches. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.

  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
