About our toilet chip repair in Glass Houghton

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Glass Houghton questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Glass Houghton.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Are there extra charges for Glass Houghton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Glass Houghton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
