Toilet chip repair in Cold Ashby, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, across cisterns & lids, vitreous china and toilet pans.

Somewhere like Cold Ashby, an older toilet can be hard to match if replaced. A repair keeps everything matching.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cold Ashby as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, 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)

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

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. In an older home in a village like Cold Ashby, replacing a toilet can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.

Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we are called out for in Cold Ashby

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Church of St Denys, period sanitaryware is worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can.

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on. Somewhere like Cold Ashby needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the toilet chip repair, so there is no second trip.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
