Need toilet chip repair in Cartledge?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Toilet chip repair in Cartledge without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

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. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to compare quotes

Cartledge: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you come to Cartledge?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Cartledge. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Cartledge. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Are there extra charges for Cartledge?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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