Choosing a repair company

Toilet chip repair in Buckover, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, on vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing in Buckover

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Buckover. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Buckover

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Will there be a smell?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
