About our toilet chip repair in Goldthorpe

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, in porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Goldthorpe

How do I book?

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?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Do you cover Goldthorpe?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Goldthorpe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you cover the whole of Barnsley?

Everywhere in the UK, Goldthorpe included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What affects the price in Goldthorpe

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Goldthorpe

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

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start 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.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, 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’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Goldthorpe

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow an hour or two.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
