Toilet chip repair in Cross-at-Hand

Toilet chip repair in Cross-at-Hand without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can typically put it right, on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Cross-at-Hand

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cross-at-Hand. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire toilet

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Cross-at-Hand

Are there extra charges for Cross-at-Hand?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes an hour or two.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job without visiting.
