Toilet chip repair near Bigby

Toilet chip repair at your home in Bigby

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, in toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Bigby

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bigby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Bigby clients choose us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site

Take a look at our full price list.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price
