About our toilet chip repair in Caldecott

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, across vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Caldecott and across Northamptonshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

What we can’t put right

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’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Caldecott

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Repair or replace in Caldecott?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place

What affects the price in Caldecott

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two, including clearing up.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price
