Toilet chip repair for Ulceby Cross homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Ulceby Cross

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ulceby Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
