Need toilet chip repair in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth?

Toilet chip repair at your home in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t 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. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
