Toilet chip repair in Clifton without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, across cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Clifton and across Rotherham. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our pricing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the 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.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Clifton. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When to call us in Clifton

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Clifton

  • Vitreous china
  • Porcelain

Clifton: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Do you cover the whole of Rotherham?

The entire UK, including all of Rotherham. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
