Toilet chip repair near Wilmington

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take an hour or two, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

About our toilet chip repair in Wilmington

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Wilmington

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

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, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Wilmington

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Wilmington: your questions answered

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
