Toilet chip repair for Caddington homes

Toilet chip repair at your home in Caddington

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Our hiring checklist

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to an hour or two.

  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. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Caddington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

For landlords and businesses

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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Caddington questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you work in Caddington?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Caddington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
