Toilet chip repair in Cess

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Toilet chip repair in Cess without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Cess

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cess use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing 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 will tell you honestly.

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NR29 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
