For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Toilet chip repair in Darnholm without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your YO22 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Darnholm. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Darnholm

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What about a leaking crack?

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

Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?

All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
