How we handle toilet chip repair in Catthorpe

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not 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 damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts 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.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Catthorpe

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you come to Catthorpe?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Catthorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

What affects the price in Catthorpe

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow an hour or two, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LE17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
