Toilet chip repair in Ganstead without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 before you book.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

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. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow an hour or two. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Repair or replace in Ganstead?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Ganstead: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

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

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

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
