Toilet chip repair in Gilberdyke without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
In a smaller place like Gilberdyke, most homes are houses and bungalows, some with long-standing suites. If a piece is chipped, repairing it keeps the suite together.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Gilberdyke, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Of course: photos and an address are all we need for a price, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.
