About our toilet chip repair in Breeds

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, in porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes an hour or two, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the 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

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Breeds. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you don’t 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’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Breeds

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Breeds, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Breeds

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
