How we handle toilet chip repair in Crawford

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses

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

For anyone letting property in or around Crawford, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

When to call us in Crawford

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • How to care for the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Should you replace it?

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. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
