Toilet chip repair for Bishop's Norton homes

How we handle toilet chip repair in Bishop's Norton

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We’re often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Bishop's Norton questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you cover the entire of Gloucestershire?

All of Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bishop's Norton. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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 colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
