How to compare quotes

Toilet chip repair in Wharley End, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, in vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
