Toilet chip repair at your home in Barwell

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Barwell customers choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from Barwell

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Barwell.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Barwell, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barwell use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

When to call us in Barwell

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
