Toilet chip repair at your home in Castletown

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KW14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

For anyone letting property in or around Castletown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Castletown questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are you accredited?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

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

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
