Toilet chip repair at your home in Burnfoot

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Repairing versus replacing in Burnfoot

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Burnfoot

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Burnfoot, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to an hour or two, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 pictures.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Burnfoot, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
