Toilet chip repair for Fulbourn homes

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fulbourn use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Fulbourn

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Fulbourn and across Cambridgeshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes an hour or two. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  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. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

Related advice

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Fulbourn

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.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are there extra charges for Fulbourn?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Common problems we fix in Fulbourn

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
