Toilet chip repair for Burn homes

Toilet chip repair at your home in Burn

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Burn and across North Yorkshire. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Burn?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. 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.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burn use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Burn questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos 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.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.
