About our toilet chip repair in Clipston

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

How to get a fixed price

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Clipston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Clipston questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Clipston and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing in Clipston

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
