Toilet chip repair in Trimley St Mary without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can typically put it right, on pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes an hour or two. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you are 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Trimley St Mary. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
