Toilet chip repair for Wye homes

Toilet chip repair in Wye without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Wye

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Common questions in Wye

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you come to Wye?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Wye. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Will the price change on the day?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When to call us in Wye

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Wye

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
