Toilet chip repair in Great Asby, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can normally put it right, on toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids alike.

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes one to two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Great Asby. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Great Asby and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Great Asby: your questions answered

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Great Asby.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Are there extra charges for Great Asby?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover Great Asby?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Great Asby. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Asby

For anyone letting property in or around Great Asby, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

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

10 questions to ask before you book

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
