About our toilet chip repair in Elton

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

For anyone letting property in or around Elton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
