Trusted toilet chip repair in Gillamoor

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes an hour or two, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Gillamoor

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Gillamoor. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

Gillamoor: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Do you come to Gillamoor?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gillamoor and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What we are called out for in Gillamoor

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
