Need toilet chip repair in Foxfield?

Toilet chip repair in Foxfield without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Foxfield

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Repairing versus replacing in Foxfield

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Choosing a repair company

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
