About our toilet chip repair in Groby

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched 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’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

FAQs for Groby

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Groby get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Groby

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair 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

  • Colour-matched on site

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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