DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Toilet chip repair in Earcroft without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, in toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 before you book.

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Earcroft

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Earcroft. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes one to two hours.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
