Toilet chip repair at your home in Torre

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Torre. The price reflects:

Doing more than one item at once
How many areas need work
The colour and finish to match
Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Torre. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

One sharp close-up of the damage
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Natural light rather than flash
A picture taken from further back

If you’re in Torre and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Torre, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
