Trusted toilet chip repair in Caddonfoot

Toilet chip repair in Caddonfoot, done in place

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 say so if we find one. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right, on porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Caddonfoot and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Caddonfoot

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Caddonfoot included. Travel is included in the price.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
