Toilet chip repair near Etherley Grange

Toilet chip repair at your home in Etherley Grange

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Etherley Grange. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we repair

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