How we handle toilet chip repair in East Denton
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 the toilet stays in place. We work on porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a 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 price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Questions from East Denton
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
