Need toilet chip repair in Allanton?

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Allanton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Toilet chip repair in Allanton 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 cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We are often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

Materials we work on in Allanton

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Allanton questions

What do you need from me?

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

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Repairing versus replacing in Allanton

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
