About our toilet chip repair in Grimsby

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North East Lincolnshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Grimsby

If you manage property in Grimsby, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Grimsby. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Grimsby

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

When to call us in Grimsby

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
