Toilet chip repair in Egloshayle, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, across pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Egloshayle

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Egloshayle as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
