Toilet chip repair in Carno

About our toilet chip repair in Carno

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. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can generally put it right, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Carno

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Carno. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Carno, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Landlord and trade work in Carno

If you manage property in Carno, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Choosing a repair company

Carno questions

Do you come to Carno?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are there extra charges for Carno?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it messy?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
