The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Upware

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Choosing a repair company

Upware: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Upware

  • Vitreous china
  • Porcelain

  • Pedestals

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CB7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Upware, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why Upware clients choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
