Toilet chip repair at your home in Barrasford

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

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. Plan for one to two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE48 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Barrasford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Barrasford

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
