Toilet chip repair in Carleton

Toilet chip repair in Carleton without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

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

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, including clearing up.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

What a repair can’t fix

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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What toilet chip repair costs

  • Whether we combine several jobs

  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
