Toilet chip repair near Top Valley

Toilet chip repair in Top Valley, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, in toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt 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.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Top Valley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Top Valley

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Porcelain
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
