Toilet chip repair in Wookey Hole without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right, on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we are called out for in Wookey Hole

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
