Toilet chip repair in Eppleby

Questions from Eppleby

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Eppleby. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Toilet chip repair in Eppleby, done in place

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 you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, in cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Eppleby, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Eppleby?

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
