Toilet chip repair for Countesthorpe homes

About our toilet chip repair in Countesthorpe

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, on pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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 match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Countesthorpe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What affects the price in Countesthorpe

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • 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
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

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

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Countesthorpe?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
