Toilet chip repair near Evington

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LE5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Toilet chip repair in Evington without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Evington questions

Do you come to Evington?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Evington and the rest of Leicester. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Evington?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LE5 postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repairing versus replacing in Evington

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Evington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
