How we handle toilet chip repair in Cranford St Andrew

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids.

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

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Cranford St Andrew

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
