Toilet chip repair for Great Gidding homes

About our toilet chip repair in Great Gidding

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Great Gidding as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Great Gidding: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What information do you need?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

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.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes an hour or two. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PE28 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 before booking.

  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Gidding

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What affects the price in Great Gidding

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Great Gidding. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Great Gidding. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
