Trusted toilet chip repair in West Pelton

Toilet chip repair in West Pelton, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 typically the cheaper route.
