Toilet chip repair for Cantley homes

Repair or replace in Cantley?

Replacing a toilet needs 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Cantley

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, in cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Doncaster. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What affects the price in Cantley

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

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Cantley

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Cantley

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Do you work in Cantley?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cantley and the rest of Doncaster. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What about a leaking crack?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
