About our toilet chip repair in Great Gate

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain.

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

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What affects the price in Great Gate

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Great Gate. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Great Gate

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Staffordshire.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes an hour or two. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price
