My plastic toilet tank lid and buttons are starting to chip/ peel away.
Is there a way I can possibly paint over it to make it look better then it does now ?
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @DIYmum93. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about your toilet cistern.
You could definitely try sanding the surface back to the plastic and scuffing it up with 120-grit sandpaper to give the paint a good surface to adhere to. From there, I’d suggest using a spray paint designed for plastics, such as White Knight 310g White Gloss Squirts Spray Paint – White Gloss, which should give you a nice finish.
Alternatively, toilet cisterns are generally quite budget-friendly, so if the paint repair doesn’t hold up or you want a completely fresh look, having a plumber swap out the whole cistern could be a relatively inexpensive and hassle-free option.
Also, if you are thinking of a complete refresh, you might like to take advantage of our Toilet Installation Offer.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
