When a repair isn’t the answer

- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

About our toilet chip repair in Castlecary
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, in pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Castlecary?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Castlecary
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Common problems we fix in Castlecary
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips on the pan or rim

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Castlecary
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
