Book toilet chip repair in Bishop Thornton

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are

Toilet chip repair in Bishop Thornton without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bishop Thornton and across North Yorkshire. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Bishop Thornton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take an hour or two, tidy-up included.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bishop Thornton. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Bishop Thornton

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across North Yorkshire.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.
