Trusted toilet chip repair in Carr Hill

Toilet chip repair in Carr Hill, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, 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. Our technicians work on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Carr Hill and across Newcastle upon Tyne. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Carr Hill

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Carr Hill.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Carr Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most customers in Carr Hill get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Carr Hill?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes one to two hours.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Carr Hill

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
