Book toilet chip repair in Tong

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Tong

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, across pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common questions in Tong

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Repair or replace in Tong?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Tong

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it 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 you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
