Toilet chip repair in Carlton Miniott

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Toilet chip repair in Carlton Miniott without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Carlton Miniott

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • 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 you will get a fixed figure back.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Carlton Miniott and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Advice

Repair or replace in Carlton Miniott?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our pricing.

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
