Toilet chip repair in Earswick without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will 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 are often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, across pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Repairing versus replacing in Earswick

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Earswick. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our full price list.

What affects the price in Earswick

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
