How we handle toilet chip repair in Abbeystead

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, on porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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

What we work on

  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Abbeystead

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What areas do you cover?

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
