About our toilet chip repair in Dilhorne

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Dilhorne

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Do you work in Dilhorne?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Dilhorne from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Dilhorne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dilhorne. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ST10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
