Toilet chip repair near Duggleby

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Duggleby

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

Toilet chip repair at your home in Duggleby

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, across porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Duggleby and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Duggleby

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Duggleby.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Duggleby

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Duggleby

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
