Toilet chip repair at your home in Burneside

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We work on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Burneside. The price comes down to:

The material and finish
Any earlier repairs that need removing first
How much damage there is
How many items we do on one visit

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A close-up of the damage, in focus
Your postcode, so we can check dates
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Burneside

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Burneside. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

Porcelain
Vitreous china
Toilet pans
Cisterns & lids
Pedestals

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.

First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
It’s sanded flush.
The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

Let us know which floor the room is on
Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Let the surface dry out before the visit
